Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock says the return of Mohamed Salah can bring the "edge" back to the Reds' attack, which has looked blunt of late. Liverpool boss Arne Slot has suggested Salah will return to the Liverpool starting line-up against Marseille in Wednesday's Champions League tie, insisting his relationship with the forward is "as normal as it's always been". The 33-year-old gave an explosive interview shortly before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations, in which he claimed "someone doesn't want me in the club" and he no longer had any relationship with Slot after being dropped.

Salah scored four goals at Afcon, where his Egypt side finished fourth.
"It is a very tough game," Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.
"One of the shining lights is that Mohamed Salah is back.
"A lot of people are seeing that as potentially an issue in Liverpool's squad because of the trouble he caused before he went to Afcon, but I think at the moment they need a game-changer.
"They need some goals in the team and need to be more clinical and maybe Salah can just bring that edge back up front.
"It's a very hostile place to go, Marseille are a very good team under [Roberto] De Zerbi and it'll be a massive challenge for Liverpool tonight."
