Mohamed Salah sent Liverpool penalty message
Few people doubt Mohamed Salah will walk straight back into the Liverpool team on his return from the Africa Cup of Nations.
What isn't quite so clear, though, is whether the Egyptian resumes his position as the Reds' penalty taker.
Salah has been first choice on spot kicks for much of his Anfield career and at one point was successful on 17 consecutive occasions.
However, the forward had missed two of his last four - against AC Milan and Leicester City this season - before departing for AFCON duty with Egypt earlier this month.

In Salah's absence, Fabinho - who was the regular taker at previous club Monaco - has assumed the role, with James Milner, the usual deputy on penalties, no longer a regular in the side.
The Brazilian followed his spot-kick in the FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town a fortnight ago with another at Crystal Palace on Sunday that secured a 3-1 Premier League win.
And Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes Fabinho is threatening to shake up the established order of penalty takers in the Liverpool squad.

Garth Crooks says teams have ignored his Liverpool warning
Liverpool duo Alisson and Virgil van Dijk were selected by BBC pundit Garth Crooks in his team of the week after the win over Palace on Sunday.
Defender Van Dijk opened the scoring with a header inside the opening 10 minutes of the game.
Goalkeeper Alisson made a number of vital saves throughout the match to ensure Liverpool left Selhurst Park with all three points to close the gap on Premier League leaders Man City.
The pair's performance at both ends of the pitch guided the Reds to victory in what could be a huge weekend in the title race.
