Liverpool handed huge selection boost for Chelsea game

Liverpool have been handed a huge selection boost on Mohamed Salah ahead of the Premier League clash against Chelsea at Anfield.

The Merseyside giants have made a tremendous start to the Premier League campaign and they are currently top of the table with 18 points.

The Reds will be aiming to preserve the advantage against the Blues and ahead of the game, they have received a huge selection boost.

Salah has been allowed to return early from international duty and he won't be playing for Egypt in the AFCON qualifier at Mauritania.

With genuine concerns over the playing surface, Salah has been allowed to return to Merseyside to avoid a possible risk of an injury.

The 32-year-old had a lean run of form before the international break, but he will be eager to redeem himself against his former club.

Salah has a good record against the Blues. He has registered seven goals and three assists in 22 appearances versus the London giants.
