Salah will be playing for Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on **December 22, 2025**, and ends on **January 18, 2026**. Since Egypt’s players will join up before the tournament, he’ll be away from mid-December.
### **Games Salah Will Miss:**
* **Tottenham (Away)**
* **Wolves (Home)**
* **Leeds (Home)**
These are the last 3 Premier League games of 2025.
### *Games He’s Likely to Miss (if Egypt go far):**
* **Fulham (Away)**
* **Arsenal (Away)**
###**He might also miss:**
* **Burnley (Home)**
(If Egypt reach the final or third-place game)
### **When Could He Return?**
* **Bournemouth (Away)** – around **January 25**, if Egypt are knocked out earlier.
Even though Salah will miss some key games, especially Arsenal away, the schedule during his absence could have been worse for Liverpool.
