Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has broken his silence on Mohamed Salah possibly representing Egypt at the Olympics, which would see him miss the start of next season.
Egypt U23 coach Shawky Gharib revealed earlier this week that that he intends to call-up the Reds superstar for the tournament in Japan.
The campaign would run from 22 July to 9 August, while the 2020/2021 Premier League season is scheduled to take place on 8 August for the Reds.
"There has been no decision," Klopp was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"Do I want to lose the player in pre-season? Of course not. But we have to consider different things. I speak with Mo and we are completely clear about what we want.
"But we need more information. How would it look? When would the preparation start? All of that stuff and no one has really contacted us yet. We've had to play without Mo before.
"But it is the Olympics, and I'm still a sportsperson and the Olympics are the Olympics."
