Salah s struggle
Liverpool were reluctant to release Salah for the Olympics, which is not part of FIFA s calendar due to being considered a youth tournament.
However, Liverpool have won out and will have their star for pre-season.
Liverpool s dilemma
The Olympics football competition is due to kick off on July 22 and run until August 7, seven days before the new Premier League campaign begins.
Salah would have missed the Reds entire pre-season schedule if he had linked up with his country and could have been a doubt for the Reds opening three top-flight fixtures against Norwich City, Burnley and Chelsea.
Liverpool will likely be without Salah in January for the Africa Cup of Nations, meaning they were reluctant to miss out on his services on two occasions in the 2021-22 season.
