Liverpool have set a clear timetable for Mohamed Salah’s return after his Africa Cup of Nations involvement, taking a significant decision before their Champions League trip to Marseille.
Salah has been away with Egypt at AFCON and Liverpool have now confirmed he will not be rushed back into action. The club have opted to manage his comeback carefully rather than push him straight into their immediate schedule.
As revealed, Liverpool have decided Salah will not travel for the upcoming Champions League match against Marseille. The forward will instead continue his recovery work with the club, with the priority on having him fully ready rather than taking any risks.
The decision means Salah will miss the Marseille trip, with Jurgen Klopp’s side forced to plan without one of their key attackers for that European fixture.
Liverpool’s approach sets a return date for the winger, with the club working to reintegrate him in the days that follow, once he has completed the necessary recovery steps after AFCON.
