Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been left out of Egypt’s squad for a friendly tournament later this month.<\/span><\/p>\n Liverpool had asked for the 31-year-old to miss the tournament in the UAE.<\/span><\/p>\n And although he was initially selected by Egypt, Salah has not been named in their final 25-man squad.<\/span><\/p>\n Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said previously: “Two games with Egypt is really not up to me, it is discussed with other departments.<\/span><\/p>\n “We want to be careful, we have to be careful, but we’re in the middle of a super-intense period of the season and we need everyone.”<\/span><\/p>\n Egypt agreed to let <\/span>Salah return to his club for rehabilitation<\/span><\/a> in January, with a view to rejoining their Afcon campaign, but the Pharaohs were knocked out in the last 16.<\/span><\/p>\n He scored as a substitute in <\/span>Liverpool’s win at Brentford<\/span><\/a> on 17 February but Klopp then said the forward needed more time to recover. He returned again during Thursday’s <\/span>Europa League win at Sparta Prague.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The inaugural Winsunited Cup takes place during the next international break and Egypt will play two games in Abu Dhabi between 22 and 26 March – against New Zealand and then either Croatia or Tunisia.<\/span><\/p>\n
