AFCON DEADLINE SET: MO SALAH JOINS EGYPT DECEMBER 15TH
Salah's dip in form prompts criticism from Jamie Carragher, who claims his "legs are gone." Slot defends benching the star, citing fixture congestion and AFCON release date.
Arne Slot has revealed that Mohamed Salah will join the Egypt squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on a specific date. Slot also mentioned that the Liverpool star wasn't pleased about being benched in the recent game against West Ham. According to Slot, the club, Salah, and the Egyptian FA all agreed on when he would leave, settling rumours that he might leave earlier for a friendly against Nigeria on December 14.
Mo Salah's AFCON Departure Set for Mid-December
Slot clarified that Salah wouldn't leave early. He'll play for Liverpool in their Premier League game against Brighton and then join the Egypt squad on December 15 for AFCON. The manager said this decision came after discussions between the player, the club, and the Egyptian FA. He also mentioned that FIFA regulations state December 15 as the latest possible release date.
Slot said that the plan was made with all parties, that is, the player, club, and country. He said this is a normal way of doing things. He also mentioned that FIFA requires players to be released by December 15.
Mo Salah's Performance Dip Raises Questions
People are looking at Salah's performances because his form has dropped. The 33-year-old hasn't scored as many goals lately, with only four goals and two assists in 12 Premier League games this season. Numbers show he's taking fewer shots, doing less in the penalty box, and not dribbling as well as before.
Some say that Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid is a reason for this. With Alexander-Arnold gone, Salah lost a key teammate on the right side. Also, Slot's tactics have changed how the ball gets to Salah, and he hasn't adjusted easily. He was on the bench against West Ham, and Slot said it was because of the busy schedule.
Before the West Ham game, Slot told Sky Sports that they played four games in 10 days. That's why he chose a different lineup. He has many talented players. He also said that he has more than 11 good players and chose not to play Salah.
When asked if Salah was upset about being benched, Slot was honest in a press conference.
He said that it's normal for a player to be unhappy when they're not playing. He added that Salah wasn't the only one feeling that way. Salah acted professionally and supported his teammates. Slot also said that Salah is disciplined and a top professional.
Carragher's Comments After PSV Loss Add Pressure
Salah didn't play well against PSV in the Champions League the previous week. Jamie Carragher was frustrated and said that some performances were becoming a problem for the team.
Carragher told CBS Sports that he was angry and honest with the players. He also said that he knew the game was over long before the final whistle and that Liverpool was becoming a good team in 2018, beginning with Jurgen Klopp, with Slot joining later.
Carragher added that the key players for Liverpool were Alisson, van Dijk, and Salah. He noted that Alisson is often injured, van Djik isn't playing as well, and Salah looks like his legs are gone. He doesn't like criticising them. Carragher added that he is looking for the leaders to step up when things are not going well.
How Many Liverpool Games Could Salah Miss During AFCON?
Liverpool is at a difficult point in the season. They need to play consistently. Games against Sunderland and Leeds United are chances to get back on track before a big Champions League game against Inter. However, Salah's departure for AFCON is a concern. Egypt's AFCON could make him miss up to eight Liverpool games, including matches during the holiday season and into mid-January. The tournament ends on January 18.
WHY DID JEREMY JACQUET SNUB CHELSEA FOR LIVERPOOL? THE SECRET VIRGIL CONNECTION
Liverpool secure Jeremy Jacquet in a £60m Deadline Day coup. The 20-year-old chose Anfield over Chelsea for a summer move.
Liverpool turned heads on Transfer Deadline Day when Arne Slot jumped into the mix and snapped up one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
The Reds dropped £55 million up front—plus another potential £5 million in add-ons—to bring in Jeremy Jacquet. He’ll link up with his new teammates this summer. Chelsea hovered around the deal too, but Jacquet chose Liverpool over the Blues.
French football pundit Julian Laurens isn’t shy about his excitement. He told Sky Sports, “He’s the real deal. Sure, he’s only 20. He hasn’t played for France yet, and you won’t find him in the Champions League or Europa League. But he’s already shown so much. Last season, Rennes brought him back from a second division loan, and this year, playing under Habib Beye, he’s just kept improving. You can’t miss with this kid. He’s going to be special.
“He reminds me of when William Saliba broke through at Saint-Etienne, or even Wesley Fofana. The point is, if you really value untapped talent, you’re willing to pay big. And Liverpool just did—because Jacquet’s that promising.”
Jacquet grew up in Bondy, the same Paris suburb that produced Kylian Mbappe, William Saliba, and Randal Kolo Muani. It’s up in Seine-Saint-Denis, northeast of central Paris.
His football education, though, happened at Rennes out in Brittany. He came up through their academy, playing alongside guys like Desire Doue—who won the Champions League with PSG—and Tottenham’s Mathys Tel.
Back then, Jacquet idolised Paul Pogba, but once they moved him to centre-back, he started looking up to Virgil van Dijk.
He made his first-team debut for Rennes in January 2024, then went on loan to Clermont Foot 63, who were fighting relegation in Ligue 1. Even after they went down, Rennes kept him out on loan because he did so well with the French U19 squad.
But in February 2025, Rennes called him back, and he’s been a regular for Habib Beye ever since.
Asked about his playing style, Jacquet said, “I’m calm on the ball—maybe I look a little nonchalant, but I’m always focused. What makes me stand out is playing out from the back and breaking lines with the right pass.”
JEREMY JACQUET UPDATE: FABRIZIO ROMANO CONFIRMS LIVERPOOL INTEREST BUT RENNES DEMAND CLUB-RECORD FEE
Liverpool is battling Chelsea and Bayern Munich for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet as Arne Slot faces a mounting injury crisis.
Liverpool really wants to sign Jeremy Jacquet this month, but with Chelsea, Man United, and Arsenal also circling, it looks like they’ll have to wait until summer.
They just locked in a spot in the Champions League last 16 after cruising past Qarabag FK, so things are looking good on that front. This season, they’ve already faced a couple of those big clubs—snatching a last-gasp win over Atletico thanks to Van Dijk’s 92nd-minute header, but coming up short with a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in Turkey.
On Wednesday, Ryan Gravenberch ended up playing centre-back because Joe Gomez is out injured, and Ibrahima Konate is still away after his father passed away. They're really stretched at the back, especially with Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni both dealing with long-term injuries. The club decided not to go after Marc Guehi this month, which let Manchester City snap him up for under £30 million.
Now, Liverpool is eyeing Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. L’Equipe reported in January that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all want him. Fabrizio Romano gave an update, saying Liverpool would love to get the deal done now, but Rennes just don’t want to sell until summer. So, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern are all talking to Rennes and Jacquet’s people, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
With all these injuries piling up, people are wondering if Liverpool might try to bring in someone before the window closes. Arne Slot responded, saying the club always tries to make smart decisions, thinking about both the short and long term. That’s why they focus on signing young talent who can still develop—sometimes you just have to be patient and trust the process.
He pointed out that Liverpool doesn’t have a massive squad packed with four right-backs, a dozen midfielders, or a handful of strikers. They need to be clever about their moves, balancing immediate needs with future plans.
As for the latest on injuries, Slot said they’ll see how Jeremie Frimpong is doing—maybe he won’t be fit for Saturday, but he could be ready soon after. With just one game a week coming up, injuries should ease up a bit, but you never know with football.
