"Mohamed Salah hasn't started the 2025-26 season with the same effectiveness that was on display last term. Salah was in remarkable form as Liverpool won the Premier League in Arne Slot's first season and ended speculation about his future by signing a new contract at Anfield. Renewing Salah's deal came with the acknowledgement that he proudly represents Egypt at international level and can be unavailable for a number of matches mid-season."
"The Pharaohs are due to compete in the Arab Cup in Qatar in the first half of December before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations begins on Sunday, December 21. Salah is expected to lead Egypt as captain at the flagship CAF tournament in Morocco, which runs to the middle of December. But the 33-year-old will be available for Liverpool until the Africa Cup of Nations because Egypt will name a B' squad to compete in Qatar."
"Coach Helmi Toulan will be in charge of a primarily home-based Egypt squad, which gathered for a training camp last month and included former Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny, who now plays for Al Jazira in the United Arab Emirates. The Egyptian second string are scheduled to face Mauritania or Kuwait in their Group C opener at the Arab Cup in Lusail before taking on the UAE and Jordan in their last two group matches."
Mohamed Salah has not matched his previous season's effectiveness despite a remarkable prior campaign in which he helped Liverpool win the Premier League and signed a new contract at Anfield. The new deal acknowledged Salah's international commitments with Egypt, allowing for mid-season absences. Egypt will play the Arab Cup in Qatar in early December with a B' squad, keeping Salah available for Liverpool. The senior Egypt side, captained by Salah, will contest the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco from December 21, starting against Zimbabwe in Agadir on December 22, with South Africa and Angola as other group opponents.
