BREAKING: Salah to leave Liverpool in 2022

Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool latest by January 3, 2022, a day after Liverpool’s EPL title-deciding clash with Chelsea, to join the rest of his Egyptian teammates in Cameroon for the AFCON slated to kick off in January 9 2022.

This is after the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), accepted the demands of the Merseyside giants to have Salah wait till after the Chelsea clash before joining the Egyptian senior national team camp in Cameroon.

The agreement implies that Liverpool will only miss the winger during two match days on January 15 against newcomers Brentford and on January 23 against Crystal Palace with the forward expected to be back for the Red’s home fixture against Leicester City on February 10, five days after the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

However, the schedule will be respected if the Pharaohs of Egypt qualifies for the final of the tournament, while failure to do so will give a higher probability for a reduction in the number of games the goal poacher will miss for Liverpool as a result of the 2021 AFCON festival.

Mohammed Salah’s Egyptian side have been drawn in Group D alongside Nigeria, Sudan and Guinea-Bissau.

The Pharaohs, seven time and record winners of the competition will begin their quest for the eighth AFCON glory on January 11 against three times champions, Super Eagles of Nigeria.
