Liverpool currently have 14 players away on international duty after Euro 2024 got underway on Friday - with the Copa America set to follow suit next week
Consequently, they will be absent when Arne Slot’s first pre-season as the Reds’ new head coach gets underway at the start of July.
In contrast, the rest of his inherited squad are currently enjoying their summer holidays, with them not due to report back to the AXA Training Centre until next month
That includes Mo Salah is one such player. The forward captained Egypt in their latest 2026 World Cup qualifiers
it was a mixed campaign for the Liverpool star. Making 54 appearances in all competitions for club and country, he returned an impressive 32 goals and 18 assists.
his campaign was ultimately derailed by a hamstring injury suffered at the Africa Cup of Nations.
he struggled for form following his return to fitness. Jurgen Klopp’s side would soon see their own hopes of further silverware slip away in the process.
Salah only scored five times from open play for Liverpool following a brace against Newcastle United on New Year’s Day.
Yet youwould not bet against him returning to his best again next season.
Salah is still attracting big-money interest from Saudi Arabia, his form in recent months has understandably prompted further questions about his long-term future at the club.
as things stand, he either signs an extension or leaves on a free transfer when his current deal expires in 2025.
Salah actually celebrates his 32nd birthday today, and has posted on his Instagram story to mark the occasion.
Unsurprisingly, despite it being less than a week since his season finished, he is already back in the gym.
The forward shared a topless mirror selfie by the weights, accompanied by a number ‘32’.
It appears not even his birthday is enough of an excuse to enjoy a day off in the summer holidays for Liverpool’s Egyptian King!
Also showing off his new shaven look, the Reds star was in pristine condition as ever
His six pack was on show, while he had buds in his ears to accompany his latest work-out.
Such a sight, which Slot will no doubt be impressed by ahead of linking up with the Egyptian
the question is currently will the Reds give the forward a new contract.
Salah is continuing to put in the work which could well soon change such a query to why would Liverpool even risk the chance of letting him go.
