Mohamed Salah's participation at Tokyo 2020 is a matter for Liverpool and the player, according to Egypt's Olympic coach.
Salah could miss pre-season and the start of the Premier League if he plays in the tournament, with the final due to be held on August 8 - the day the 2020-21 campaign is due to get underway.
Shawky Gharib intends to include Salah as one of three over-age players, but admits the decision is not up to him.
'Salah's participation with the Pharaohs team in Tokyo is a decision to be taken only by Salah, his club Liverpool and his coach Jurgen Klopp,' said Gharib.
'We cannot force Salah to participate with us because FIFA regulations do not compel him to participate.'
Gharib wants to include Salah in a preliminary 50-man squad, which will be whittled down to 18 in June.
Liverpool could be without Salah for a significant chunk of next season after it was announced last month that the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations will take place from January 9 to February 6.

if he decides to go help Egypt we shouldn't stop him, Salah is a very humble person and he loves his country & Liverpool as well, we have to respect his decision, YNWA

Should give younger player chance.. Why tie down the overage player forever?
