Mohamed Salah recently signed a new deal keeping him at Liverpool until 2027, but despite the extension, the club is already planning for the post-Salah era.
According to the Daily Express, Salah is expected to miss up to 10 matches during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which runs from Dec 21 to Jan 18 in Morocco. That absence could include key Premier League and domestic cup fixtures, depending on Egypt’s progression.
With Arne Slot now at the helm, this creates an early test for potential successors on the right wing and gives the club a preview of life without their iconic No. 11. Liverpool handled a similar challenge well in 2021/22 and hope to do the same again
