Liverpool could be handed a major boost ahead of their FA Cup quarterfinal clash against arch-rivals Manchester United with Mohamed Salah expected to start on Sunday (Mar 17). Salah, who has yet to start a game for Liverpool since his hamstring injury sustained during the African Cup of Nations in January is now in line to start the FA Cup last-eight match. According to manager Jurgen Klopp, Salah’s involvement for the entire 90 minutes is still a matter of debate but can make the Starting XI.

<h2>Klopp delivers Mohamed Salah injury update</h2>

“I am not sure he is ready for 90 minutes or that we should do 90 minutes but he is ready to start," Klopp said. "He would've been ready to start the last game but you don't know how long it makes sense. It is always a problem when players come back. I can’t remember a game where I thought, 'ah, Mo Salah cannot play, no problem' – it has never happened so it is not cool not to have him.

"But there was a game last Sunday (against City) and there are 10 more Premier League games and hopefully a lot more cup and European games, so they are as important. Mo is completely fine with that. Would he have loved to play a bit longer? Probably, yes. It wouldn’t have been impossible playing longer," Klopp added.

<h2>Liverpool’s bid for silverware</h2>

The Reds are enjoying another great campaign as they target an unlikely quadruple (four titles in the same season) in Klopp’s final season as manager. Salah, who has been the team’s top scorer in recent seasons will be an important member if the Reds are to add more silverware. Salah’s absence hasn’t seen Liverpool drop the pace in recent weeks and are second in the Premier League on goal difference. They secured the League Cup title by beating Chelsea at Wembley to clinch the first title of the season in February.

The Egyptian forward’s inclusion in Sunday’s clash will be a huge boost to the FA Cup bid while they are still going good in the Premier League. Interestingly, Salah could also make a surprise start in the Europa League tie against Sparta Prague on Thursday evening. But provided Liverpool lead by 5-1, they are highly unlikely to stress the top stars in the squad.

'He is ready to start': Klopp gives injury update on Mohamed Salah ahead of Man Utd vs Liverpool FA Cup QF

Liverpool will have a task in hand on Sunday (Feb 25) when they take on Chelsea in the final of the League Cup at the Wembley Stadium. The Reds having emerged victorious 4-1 in both&nbsp;their last two Premier League outings have been troubled with injuries as key men Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah are facing a race against time to make the Starting XI. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp though is optimistic about the inclusion of the duo with the final taking place in three days.

<h2>Klopp optimistic on Salah, Nunez</h2>

&nbsp;“They couldn’t have played tonight,” Klopp said while speaking to Sky Sports on Wednesday.

“From here we will see who will be back for Sunday, but that is not important at the moment,' he further said.

The Reds have been in impressive form in recent weeks despite losing to Arsenal in North London a fortnight ago. Liverpool beat Brentford 4-1 over the weekend and followed that with another win on Wednesday against Luton by the same scoreline. However, the win against Brentford came at a cost with Nunez and Salah both suffering injury scares.

Nunez was substituted at half time while Salah came on in the second half of the match where he scored his 15th Premier League goal. Klopp will be optimistic on the inclusion of the duo despite him claiming they could have played on Wednesday.

Currently, Liverpool are already without Alisson due to a hamstring injury, Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee injury), Thiago (hamstring injury), Curtis Jones (ankle) and Diogo Jota (knee). Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) is also doubtful but has not been ruled out entirely and could feature from the bench. Joel Matip (ACL), Stefan Bajcetic (growing pains) and Ben Doak (MCL) are also long-time absentees and are unlikely to feature again this campaign.

The League Cup final will be the first opportunity for Liverpool to win silverware this campaign as they fight on multiple fronts. As things stand, they are four points clear at the top of the Premier League and won’t be in action in the league until next weekend. Sunday’s final against Chelsea will also be the third cup final between the sides in less than two years having also met in the 2022 League Cup and FA Cup final at the same venue.
