Liverpool handed huge boost as Egypt make big Mohamed Salah call-up decision ahead of dead-rubber AFCON qualifiers

<p>Plenty of international performers are preparing to pack their bags at Anfield as they link up with their respective nations. Salah, as the talismanic captain of his country, is often called up to represent the Pharaohs.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Salah is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-mohamed-salah-denied-olympics-opening-ceremony-role-egypt-plans-paris-games/bltee0d18a04d42a00f" target="_blank">up to 103 caps for Egypt, with 59 goals recorded</a> along the way. He will not be adding to those tallies during the latest round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, however. That is because he has already helped to book tickets to the 2025 event in Morocco.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Egypt boast a perfect record through four Group C fixtures, meaning that they can start making plans for another continental trophy quest. Their qualification campaign will be completed with games against Cape Verde and Botswana, with the decision taken not to select talisman Salah for those fixtures.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hossam Hassan has unveiled the Pharaohs’ squad list for the final two matches of the AFCON qualifiers 2025 🙌<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/egyptnt?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#egyptnt</a> <a href="https://t.co/mfkvnn0qhM">pic.twitter.com/mfkvnn0qhM</a></p>— Egypt National Team (@EgyptNT_EN) <a href="https://twitter.com/EgyptNT_EN/status/1855355303174307879?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As a result, the Liverpool legend will remain on Merseyside. That is good news for the Reds, as they can manage his schedule through to the resumption of Premier League action – with Arne Slot’s side having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-aston-villa-mohamed-salah-virgil-van-dijk/blt526a168bca921983" target="_blank">opened up a five-point lead at the top of the table</a>. Salah, who is into the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-leave-liverpool-free-exciting-clubs-trent-alexander-arnold-virgil-van-dijk-stay-anfield/blt5e92a7047a13c256" target="_blank">final year of his contract</a>, has 10 goals to his name this season through 17 appearances and is up to 221 in total for Liverpool.</p>
