Mo Salah’s AFCON Stance Revealed as Liverpool and Egypt Head Toward Potential Clash

A fresh point of tension is emerging between Liverpool and the Egyptian national team, with Mohamed Salah’s stance on participating in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations reportedly becoming clearer.

According to sources close to the situation, Salah remains fully committed to representing Egypt at AFCON, a tournament he has long dreamed of winning. The Egyptian captain is understood to view the competition as a major national duty—one he is unwilling to miss unless injury forces him out.

Liverpool, however, face the possibility of losing their star forward during a crucial part of the season. With the club navigating a demanding Premier League schedule and key fixtures on the horizon, Salah’s departure could leave a significant void in Arne Slot’s squad.

The Reds are believed to be hoping for a balanced approach, particularly if Salah’s fitness becomes a concern, but Egypt are expected to insist on having their talisman available for the tournament.

With AFCON fast approaching, both sides may soon be forced into difficult discussions. The coming weeks will determine whether Liverpool and Egypt can find common ground — or whether a full-blown club-versus-country dispute is on the horizon.

More updates are expected as the situation develops
