Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes the international break will have helped rejuvenate Mohamed Salah after he was spared from playing matches with Egypt.
The forward, who enjoyed a remarkable 44-goal maiden season for the Reds, is without a goal in his last seven matches – his longest drought for the club.
However, Salah has found the net three times in his last three league appearances against Sunday’s visitors Tottenham, and a fortnight without football may well be just the thing to kick-start the 26-year-old into life with seven games to go in the title race.
