SportFootballLiverpool FCLiverpool ramped up their preparations for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City with Jeremie Frimpong, Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa all involvedJeremie Frimpong has handed Liverpool a major injury boost ahead of their FA Cup showdown with Manchester City - as Alexander Isak made a significant step forward in his rehabilitation.Frimpong caused alarm on Tuesday evening when he was substituted for Holland barely 15 minutes after being introduced from the bench at the start of the second half of the friendly against Ecuador.Liverpool boss Arne Slot detailed on Wednesday the right-back would undergo a scan before a decision was made over the severity of any possible injury.And it has become clear his substitution in midweek was only a precaution as he took part in team training for the Reds at Kirkby on Thursday ahead of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final trip to City.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE! All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageWith Conor Bradley out for the season after knee surgery and Joe Gomez having had fitness issues throughout the campaign, that Frimpong has seemingly avoided a spell on the sidelines is a huge positive for Slot given a hectic forthcoming schedule that also includes a Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain and a Premier League trip to neighbours Everton.Mohamed Salah, who missed the Premier League defeat at Brighton a fortnight ago, and Federico Chiesa, who was forced to withdraw from Italy's failed attempt to qualify for the World Cup this week, were also involved at the AXA Training Centre.And, as expected, Isak joined his Liverpool colleagues for full team training for the first time since suffering a broken leg and ankle damage when scoring the opener in the 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur shortly before Christmas.However, Alisson Becker was absent as he continues to recover from the latest hamstring problem he sustained last month.Alexis Mac Allister was also not pictured in the session having featured for Argentina in their 5-0 friendly win over Zambia in the United States in the early hours of Wednesday morning.Up to 70% off Liverpool kits and merchThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
