Mo Salah and Sadio Mane set for different Liverpool return dates after AFCON final

The Africa Cup of Nations final will have a distinctly Liverpool flavour after Mohamed Salah's Egypt set up a meeting with Sadio Mane's Senegal, but the two Reds forwards will return to Anfield at different times.

Egypt beat host nation Cameroon on penalties on Thursday night, with goalkeeper Gabaski the hero after a goalless draw, while Mane was on the scoresheet on Wednesday as Aliou Cisse's Senegal saw off Burkina Faso.

It is the first of two big clashes between the Liverpool teammates, who will also be involved in March as their countries face off for a place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
