Runways at Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport had previously been closed due to extensive traffic disruption, but the go-ahead was granted as the city's situation improved.

Mohamed Salah has stated that he would not let the uncertainty around his future deter him from focussing on having an "unbelievable season" in order to reach his goal of winning the Premier League with Liverpool once more.
The forward for Egypt, who has six months left on his current contract, stated that he is still "far away" from reaching an agreement with the team.
