The Egyptian has missed all but two of the Reds’ matches since New Year’s Day due to injury problems, but he returned as a late substitute in the 5-1 thrashing of Sparta Prague on Thursday night.
His country’s FA had insisted that, despite a request from Merseyside to the contrary, the 31-year-old would be called up for their upcoming fixtures later this month had he played for his club before the international window, but it seems they’ve now backtracked on that stance.
On Saturday night, Egyptian journalist Ismael Mahmoud posted on X: “Mo Salah will be ruled out from Egypt squad for the next international break. Good news for Liverpool and for Mo.”
