Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Mohamed Salah’s next game against Newcastle United will be Mohamed Salah’s last before he travels to Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer reflected on the impact of Salah’s absence: “Well, Liverpool will miss Salah. He’s great and played a few years at Liverpool. It changed a lot of games for them. “There’s no doubt he’s going to be missed.”
