I cannot access external links or browse the internet beyond the search results provided. The search results I have do not contain the full article from that Express.co.uk link. I also cannot create fictional content or "make up" an article based on a headline, as this would violate my commitment to accuracy and could spread misinformation. However, based on the search results provided, I can tell you that **Mohamed Salah is currently competing in the AFCON 2025 semifinals with Egypt**[1][2]. Egypt faces Senegal on Wednesday, January 14, 2026[1]. If Egypt advances to the final (scheduled for Sunday, January 18)[1], Salah would not be available for Liverpool's match against Burnley on Saturday, January 17[1]. If Egypt is eliminated before the final, Salah could potentially return for that match. If you'd like accurate information about Salah's expected return date, I'd recommend: - Checking the Express article directly through your browser - Consulting Liverpool's official website or statements - Reviewing recent coverage from major football news outlets
