Mohamed Salah is about to do Liverpool a huge favor

There is always this push and pull between Liverpool and the Egyptian national team regarding the status of Mohamed Salah, as the world-class right winger is vital to both the Reds and his country, with the latter relying on him even more than the former given their lack of surrounding talent.

Egyptian national team manager Hossam Hassan has threatened to be a thorn in the Red side by clamoring for Salah to get pulled to national team duty earlier than he’s supposed to in order to get more reps with them.

The African Cup of Nations is coming this winter, and in order to put a stop to the drama and get ahead of things, the Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele reports that Salah is going to have a little sitdown with Hassan next week over the November international break.

Salah’s goal is to convince Hassan not to pull him in early December when Egypt have a friendly match against Nigeria before AFCON as a tune-up, as well as early practice sessions.

If Egypt were to call him up early then, Salah would miss a crucial game for Liverpool in the Champions League against reigning finalists Inter Milan, as well as a tough Premier League battle against Brighton.

Salah doesn’t want to miss those games for his club, so, hopefully, Kopites can get a definitive answer on his status and avoid losing the best player of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
