Egypt want Mohamed Salah to miss start of Liverpool season

Mohamed Salah could find himself at the middle of a club vs country row with Egypt wanting to include him in their squad for next year’s Olympic Games.

The Liverpool forward is already set to miss a number of games in January and February as a result of the Africa Cup of Nations, with the 31-year-old set to captain his nation at the latest edition of the tournament in the Ivory Coast.

But Egypt’s Under-23s manager has now admitted that he would like to include Salah as an overage player in his squad for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, which take place between July 26 and August 11. Any player selected will likely miss part of pre-season and the start of the 2024/25 season.
