The 32-year-old forward has plenty of gas left in his tank as he aced the fitness test in pre-season. Liverpool's players were tasked with a grueling six-minute race test, which Salah won by covering more ground than everyone else - surpassing Sepp van den Berg, who previously held the top spot on the leaderboard. Returning for pre-season training in impeccable shape, Salah is leading from the front with an exemplary work ethic in the gym and on the training field.

Conall Murtagh, Liverpool’s first-team fitness coach, described Salah's performance as "phenomenal."

“It’s important to show your mentality. Show the lads how it’s done as leaders in the group,” Murtagh added, via The Athletic.

Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, and young goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros returned to Kirkby on Tuesday after an early exit with their respective countries from Euro 2024. However, Arne Slot has to continue working without 11 senior players as all of them have been serving their nation either at the Euros or the Copa America.
