The Egypt international has appeared in just 2 matches for Liverpool since the beginning of 2024, sustaining a hamstring injury at the Africa Cup of Nations after playing 2 matches for his nation.
Salah didn’t play again until the middle of the past month when Mohamed came off the bench to notch and assist in a 4-1 triumph against Brentford in London, but he hasn’t been on the pitch since.
Head coach Jurgen Klopp ruled the ex-Chelsea attacker of yesterday’s visit to Nottingham Forest, where Darwin Nunez netted the winning goal in the 99th minute.
Egypt will participate in the inaugural 2024 Winsunited Cup, with Tunisia, Croatia, and New Zealand also playing, and their football union shared that they want to select Salah despite the Reds’ fears of the forward suffering another injury.
The country revealed that they received an official letter from the Reds demanding to exempt their star, but they had to dismiss it.
