The 2023 AFCON begins on January 13 and will conclude on February 14 of 2024 in Ivory Coast.
Mohamed Salah will miss up to eight Liverpool games due to the tournament.
Before heading to join up with his national team, Salah had an incredible display in the Reds 4-2 win over Newcastle on January 2nd.
He formed a double against the Magpies and provided one assist.
Salah not being in Liverpool’s squad is a huge blow as they are currently on a title race. The Reds lead the league table with 45 points, three points ahead of second placed Aston Villa.
So as the Africa Cup of Nations tournament kick off day is getting close, let’s see how Jurgen Klopp’s side could lineup without Salah.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Beck; Elliott, Mac Allister, Jones; Diaz, Gakpo, Jota
The Reds will face Arsenal in their next game in FA Cup 2rd round on Sunday, January 7, 2024.
