A number of Liverpool supporters are over the moon after journalist David Lynch claimed that Mohamed Salah will be available to face Chelsea next week.

Jurgen Klopp's side are set to be without Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita for a chunk of next month due to their involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Egyptian could be a particularly big loss having had a remarkable season to date, scoring 15 goals and registering nine assists in the Premier League alone.

According to Lynch for The Mirror [via Anfield Watch on Twitter], Salah will be available for the Reds next week as they take on his former club prior to heading off on international duty.
