Mohamed Salah: Liverpool need more information about Olympics, says Jurgen Klopp
Last updated on .From the section Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the club need more information before they decide whether forward Mohamed Salah can represent Egypt at the Olympics.
The tournament is for under-23 teams but three over-age players are allowed.
Salah, 27, is on Egypt's provisional 50-man list for the event, which has its final on 8 August - the first day of the 2020-21 Premier League season.
"Do I want to lose a player in pre-season? Of course not. That's clear," said Liverpool boss Klopp.
"But we have to consider different things. I will speak with Mo and all that stuff."
Fifa has previously acknowledged that clubs are not obliged to release over-age players for the Games in Tokyo, and Egypt coach Shawky Gharib says the decision is Liverpool's.
Klopp says nobody has contacted the club regarding Salah's involvement and discussion is "just in the media".
"We are completely clear about what we want, but we need more information: how will it look, when will the preparation start, all that stuff," he added.
"No decision yet, but we will see."

"i sphinx he should"
Pharaoh nuff!
Did you even bother to read the whole article?
It clearly states - clubs are not obliged to release over-age players for the Games in Tokyo.
However, I'm certain that if Salah decides he wants to be involved I'm sure Klopp was sanction it.
As for Klopp not managing the kids...they did just fine, through to the next round.
You couldn't make it up 🤣
Well it's been a while since they had an opportunity to spout all their nonsense on a Liverpool HYS.
You have to pity them though, with Ole at the wheel, I'd be feeling down in the dumps too.
IT IS NOW!!!!

“Football should not be an olympic sport“
Exactly, just like golf and tennis.
Olympics is supposed to be the pinnacle of a sport.
For football, it’s not even in top 10, WC, Euros/ACN etc , EPL/SerieA etc, CL, FA cup, Europa Cup, EFL cup, Community Shield, CheckaTrade Trophy, FA Trophy, FA Vase, UEFA Regions Cup, NW Counties League Cup, FA Sunday Cup, AFA Senior Cup, Olympics
But it is tainted.
They have cheated.
None of their titles or trophies now have any sporting credibility.
Let that sink in.
Zero credibility
So it's not an under-23 tournament then if 27% of the team will be over 23.
