Mohamed Salah will not be involved when Egypt face Cape Verde in their second friendly of the November break, which Liverpool can consider a boost for fitness.Salah played the full 90 minutes as Egypt were humbled 2-0 by Uzbekistan in their first of two friendlies in the Al Ain International Cup on Friday.That defeat set up a third-place decider against Cape Verde on Monday, with the absence of a number of key players suggesting Liverpool’s No. 11 would start again.But Egypt manager Hossam Hassan has taken the decision to rest Salah, as explained in a statement from the Egyptian FA.Official: Salah to miss Egypt vs. Cape VerdeThe 33-year-old is expected to stay with his national team in Dubai despite not taking part in their next game, which was also the case during the October break.Last month Salah scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Djibouti to secure a place at next summer’s World Cup, before watching on in their dead-rubber qualifier against Guinea-Bissau.He is likely to be in the stands for Monday’s clash at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium, which will serve as further preparation for the winter Africa Cup of Nations.When Salah is next expected to feature for LiverpoolSalah’s absence against Cape Verde is not due to impact his availability for Liverpool, who face Nottingham Forest at Anfield next weekend.Instead he could be considered well-rested for Saturday’s return to Premier League action and will almost certainly make his 15th start of the season.The Egyptian has found himself worryingly out of form in recent months, with only two goals in his last 10 games – albeit those coming in two of his last four outings.Liverpool will also benefit from the likes of Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa being given further time to focus on their fitness having been left out of international duty.Alisson also missed out on the Brazil squad but is due to return to full fitness during the current break, and could be in line to start against Forest.Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni remain out along with Stefan Bajcetic and Jayden Danns.Arne Slot named an unchanged side for Liverpool’s most recent game but the results were not as hoped, with the Reds failing to follow up their 1-0 victory over Real Madrid as they lost 3-0 to Man City five days later.The head coach is likely to shuffle things around for the visit of Forest, including a possible return for Cody Gakpo on the left flank.
