Arne Slot, the coach of Liverpool, has chosen the Dutch right-back Jeremy Frimpong to be the solution to the crisis of his star Mohamed Salah's participation with the Egyptian national team in the Africa Cup of Nations at the end of this year.
Salah, the captain of the Egyptian national team, will participate with his country in the Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in Morocco between December of this year and January of next year, meaning he will miss 6 matches in the Premier League if his team reaches the final.

Slot said to the media today, Friday: "We knew that Salah would miss 6 matches next season, and that’s why we signed Jeremy Frimpong. He is a defender but can play in several positions on the side of the field, and he is certainly capable of compensating for Salah's absence."
He added: "Salah's absence for 6 matches is quite a lot in the Premier League, especially after his brilliant performance last season."
It is worth mentioning that Salah was one of the standout stars of Liverpool last season when the team won the twentieth Premier League title in its history, after scoring 29 goals in the competition, earning him the Golden Boot.
