"Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah will soon return from the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and Arne Slot has addressed his absence. Salah is unavailable for Liverpool's Premier League fixture against Burnley on Saturday, the seventh and final game he'll miss as a result of his international commitments this month and last. The Egypt captain will be in Morocco for the duration of AFCON 2025 thanks to his team reaching the semi-finals."
"Mo has been so important for this club and me, so I am happy he is back and even if I had 15 attackers, I would be happy to see Mo back but that is not our situation. Happy to have him back after an important game tomorrow. We're in talks with him. First of all, he needs to have an important game on Saturday."
Mohamed Salah remains with Egypt at AFCON 2025 after the team reached the semi-finals, causing him to miss seven Liverpool fixtures including the Burnley game. Egypt lost the semi-final to Senegal, with former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane scoring the decisive second-half winner after an on-field confrontation began with a foul involving Salah. Egypt will play Nigeria in the third-place play-off in Casablanca. Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed enthusiasm about Salah's imminent return, confirmed ongoing contact with the player, and emphasized Salah's importance to both the club and the squad depth situation.
