Jurgen Klopp has been handed a major boost after Egypt boss Rui Vitoria confirmed that Mohamed Salah would be 'rested' for Tuesday's friendly against Liberia and free to jet back to Liverpool early.
The influential forward has endured a difficult start to the new Premier League campaign and had netted just twice in six domestic outings before the international break for the Reds, who have dropped points in four of their league matches already this term.
But Salah was back to his best in Egypt's impressive 3-0 win over Niger last week, netting twice for his country. And it has now been confirmed that Salah will be excused from this week's match against Liberia - news that will delight Klopp ahead of a hectic run of domestic fixtures.
