Liverpool’s forward will participate in their game against Newcastle on New Year’s Day before heading off to represent Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations. This could mean that the Reds will be without their top scorer for up to eight games. However, manager Klopp is not focusing too much on who will replace him, as he has already lost many options to injury this season. Klopp stated that he cannot plan long-term as it depends on who is available at the time. He hopes to find solutions after the Newcastle game. Despite losing their goalscorer before, Liverpool has managed to come through it. Klopp is aware that this is a traditional situation, and they will have to deal with it. Salah is guaranteed to miss four matches due to his participation in the group stages of AFCON, which runs from January 13 to February 11.
