Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita to miss games as AFCON decision made



Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita could miss up to as many as six Liverpool games next season after a reschedule of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations was confirmed on Wednesday.

Time-frames for AFCON 2021 were initially pencilled in for the summer in Cameroon, but the country's climate during June and July has forced the CAF into a re-think.

It means the competition has now been brought forward six months to kick off in January - midway through the Premier League campaign.

AFCON 2021 will now begin on January 9 and conclude on February 6, potentially leaving Europe-based African stars away from domestic action for half-a-dozen games.

With Salah, Mane and Keita all key men for their respective nations, they are highly likely to feature in Cameroon, leaving them unavailable to Jurgen Klopp at a critical part of the season.

With June and July expected to be hit by torrential downpours in Cameroon, the decision to bring the tournament forward to January and February was taken after discussions were held in the region on Tuesday.

"We have reviewed the period of the competition as requested by the Cameroonian party due to unfavourable climatic conditions during the period initially slated," CAF deputy general secretary Tony Baffoe said.

"After listening to the various arguments and viewpoints, and in particular from the Cameroonian meteorological authorities, the coaches and players; the representatives of the AFCON organising committee, which received the mandate from CAF Executive Committee to take the decision, has granted this request.”

The news is likely to be a huge disappointment for Reds boss Klopp with Salah and Mane forming two thirds of one of the most fearsome attacks in world football alongside Roberto Firmino at Anfield.

Should any of Egypt, Senegal or Guinea make it to the February final, it could mean a six-game absence for at least one of Klopp's influential Africans.

Salah recently finished behind Mane as the Liverpool forwards contested the African Footballer of the Year award at a glitzy ceremony in Egypt and the pair - along with Keita - will be some of the biggest stars in the competition in 12 months.

Liverpool were forced to fend without Mane during the 2017 competition for seven games as they won just once - against League Two side Plymouth - in his absence.

The Reds sent a private jet to Gabon following Senegal's exit to rush him back to Merseyside for the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on February 1.

According to Forbes, current Liverpool's squad value is £1.83 Billion.
