Post: Salah will negotiate with Egypt coach, he wants to finish playing for Brighton before joining the national team
6686 Sports News on November 7 According to the "Post", Salah will have key negotiations with Egypt coach Hassan next week about going to the national team to prepare for the African Cup. He hopes to avoid disputes between the club and the national team.
The Egyptian team will arrange a training camp in the week of December 8 and will have a friendly match with the Nigerian team. According to the Egyptian media WinWin, the Egyptian team has the right to recruit Salah to participate in that friendly match.
However, Liverpool will usher in a Champions League match against Inter Milan on the away team in the week of December 8, followed by a league match against Brighton at home. They hope that Salah can participate in these two games.
It is reported that Salah prefers to stay in Liverpool to participate in the competition with Inter Milan and Brighton. He will negotiate with Egypt coach Hassan next week.
Liverpool proposed to Egypt two years ago that Salah should miss a national team training camp. This move was to consider the player's physical condition in the long-term stage. However, Egypt was angry and claimed that it had the right to recruit Salah, but ultimately agreed to Liverpool's request.
During the last Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire, Salah was injured and left early, which made Egyptian fans dissatisfied. He never found his best competitive form in the remaining season.
Now Liverpool and Egypt will negotiate when to release Salah to the national team to prepare for the African Cup of Nations. This tournament will be held from December 21 to January 18 next year.
If Salah goes to the national team after the game against Brighton, the worst case scenario for Liverpool is that the Egyptian team reaches the African Cup of Nations finals. In this case, Salah will miss at least 7 club games, and it may actually be 8 games, including Including league matches against Tottenham, Wolves, Leeds United, Fulham, Arsenal and Burnley, in addition to the Champions League match against Marseille four days after the African Cup of Nations final (if Salah gets a rest), plus the FA Cup third round match in early January.
