The African Nations Cup will start on the ninth of next January, and the International Football Association (FIFA) allowed the players participating in the tournament to stay with their clubs until the third of January.
About the decision that will allow Mohamed Salah and Sadio to participate in the Chelsea match, Klopp said: “I am grateful for that and I think it is right and it is good for the boys to play this match and then they can travel.”
