Mohamed Salah has returned to England for treatment on a hamstring tear to give him the best possible chance to be available for the Africa Cup of Nations final, should Egypt make it.
The Egyptian is being treated to recover as soon as possible to help both his national team and Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp told reporters that he will "allow Salah 100%" to play in the AFCON final if he is fit.
"Egypt and Liverpool both have the same interest, we want Mo Salah fit as soon as possible. If he stays in Africa and they can't do the proper treatment, it will just delay everything, especially for Egypt if they go through the tournament," he told 'beIN Sports' on Wednesday.
"We bring him here not because we want to take him away from Egypt but just to offer the best medical treatment. It's all agreed. If Salah is fit and Egypt go to the final, it was always clear, he goes back, 100%. Mo wants that, we want that," he added.
Moreover, the German manager admitted that the 31-year-old is "the most loyal Egyptian he has ever met". "If somebody questions the loyalty of Mo Salah they should ask themselves if their loyalty is right, because Mo Salah is definitely the most loyal Egyptian I've met in my life," Klopp said.
Salah's injury is also a blow to Liverpool's quest for just a second Premier League title in 34 years. Jurgen Klopp's men are five points clear at the top of the table, but will now be without their top goalscorer for crucial matches at home to Chelsea and away to Arsenal.
