Mohamed Salah has told Liverpool he wants to resume training on Tuesday as he looks to overcome his Africa Cup of Nations final heartbreak.
Salah saw his hopes of glory with Egypt on Sunday dashed by Reds team-mate Sadio Mane, who scored the decisive penalty for Senegal in the shoot-out following a goalless draw in Cameroon.
While Mane travelled to his homeland to celebrate his country's first-ever AFCON triumph, Salah was back in England on Monday.

And the forward has declared his intention to resume training at Liverpool's AXA Training Centre at Kirkby on Tuesday, putting him in contention for Thursday's Premier League visit of Leicester City.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, though, will be mindful of not over-exerting the Egyptian given the player's heavy workload over the past month.
Both Salah and Mane haven't featured for Liverpool since scoring in their 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea on January 2.
Each played seven games at the AFCON, although Salah played 120 minutes four times in 12 days with three of Egypt's knockout games going to penalties.
Mane is not expected to return to Merseyside until nearer the Leicester game.
Senegal president Macky Sall will meet the national team in the capital Dakar on Tuesday having declared Monday a public holiday in honour of their AFCON triumph.
