Liverpool have been handed a huge boost by Egypt, with Mohamed Salah being granted a well-earned rest during the November international break.
Plenty of international performers are preparing to pack their bags at Anfield as they link up with their respective nations.
Salah, as the talismanic captain of his country, is often called up to represent the Pharaohs.
Salah is up to 103 caps for Egypt, with 59 goals recorded along the way.
He will not be adding to those tallies during the latest round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, however.
That is because he has already helped to book tickets to the 2025 event in Morocco.
Egypt boast a perfect record through four Group C fixtures, meaning that they can start making plans for another continental trophy quest.
Their qualification campaign will be completed with games against Cape Verde and Botswana, with the decision taken not to select talisman Salah for those fixtures.

As a result, the Liverpool legend will remain on Merseyside.
That is good news for the Reds, as they can manage his schedule through to the resumption of Premier League action – with Arne Slot’s side having opened up a five-point lead at the top of the table.
Salah, who is into the final year of his contract, has 10 goals to his name this season through 17 appearances and is up to 221 in total for Liverpool.
