Liverpool block Mohamed Salah's Egypt call-up for Tokyo Olympics

Mohamed Salah will not be going to the Olympics after Liverpool prevented him from being selected in Egypt's squad for Tokyo.

National team boss Hossam El Badry had wanted the 29-year-old as one of his overage players but, with clubs under no obligation to release players, the Reds put a block on Salah's hopes.

The Olympics run from July 22 until August 7, a week before the start of the Premier League campaign, and with Salah set to miss matches in January because of the African Nations Cup Liverpool did not view it as being in their best interests to allow Salah to attend.

Despite trying to exert some pressure El Badry has admitted defeat and omitted Salah from the squad he named on Friday.

In another boost to manager Jurgen Klopp's plans Virgil Van Dijk has declared himself "pre-season ready" in a post on Twitter.

The Holland captain missed virtually all last season after sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage in his right knee in October's Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
