Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has confirmed that Mohamed Salah will join Egypt for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with the forward set to be released on December 15.
The tournament is scheduled to run from December 21 to January 18, 2026.
Egypt, however, will begin preparations earlier, starting a training camp this Wednesday, ahead of a friendly against Nigeria on December 10.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League match against Sunderland at Anfield, the Dutch manager told the club’s website that Salah’s release date has been set.
“He’ll go on December 15.
“The way we have worked is that there’s a communication between all three – the player, the club and country. That’s nothing new. But FIFA have said December 15 is last day player has to be released.
“Fortunately the time I have been here he has been a superhuman being, but all players around the world there are times at a club where you are human.
“He’s scored so many goals for us and I’m sure he will in the future.”
