Jurgen Klopp has wished Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo the worst of luck on international duty, with the Liverpool duo jetting off to compete at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the Asian Cup respectively. The Reds are set to be without Salah and Endo for a number of key matches this month, starting with an FA Cup tie against Arsenal on Sunday. Salah's Egypt are preparing for AFCON group stage matches against Mozambique, Ghana and Cape Verde over the next two-and-a-half weeks. Midfielder Endo would be unavailable until the same date if Japan make it all the way to the Asian Cup final next month. And Klopp has made it clear that he doesn't want either player to enjoy a deep run at their respective tournaments.
