Liverpool v Sparta Prague: Mohamed Salah ready to start after injury, says boss Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says forward Mohamed Salah is "ready to start" when the Reds take on Sparta Prague in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday.

Salah has not started for Liverpool since 1 January after picking up a hamstring injury when representing Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Liverpool hold a 5-1 lead after a convincing win in the Czech Republic.

"It's super important we build up Mo, he's ready, top fit," said Klopp.

"I'm not sure he's ready for 90 minutes, I'm not sure we should do 90 minutes, but he's ready to start.
