We simulated Liverpool vs Leicester City with Mohamed Salah return and Luis Diaz making Premier League debut

Mohamed Salah is set to return to the Liverpool squad just four days on from AFCON heartbreak, as the Reds host Leicester City in the Premier League.

The AFCON final left Liverpool fans with mixed emotions on Sunday night when Sadio Mane and Senegal emerged victorious against Salah and Egypt, but despite Salah playing 480 minutes for Egypt in a space of 10 days, the 29-year-old returned to training on Tuesday ahead of the Leicester clash on Thursday.
