Mohammed Salah will leave the Merseyside club by at least January 3, 2022, a day after Liverpool FC’s EPL title-deciding duel against defending European Champions, Chelsea.
The agreement entails Liverpool FC will only miss the former AS Roma star during two match days on January 15 against newcomers Brentford and on January 23 against Crystal Palace with the forward expected to be back for the Red’s home fixture against Leicester City on February 10, five days after the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

The North Africans will be looking forward to extend their leadership on the competition’s title rankings with forward Mohammed Salah expected to be at the core of the Pharaoh’s glory chasing visit in the land of the Indomitable Lions.
