Mohamed Salah will miss six key Premier League matches as he departs for international duty to represent his country at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which runs from December 21 to January 18.

When it came to the name that would replace Mohamed Salah, many names were mentioned by the media, but Dutch coach Arne Slot recently came out and confirmed that one of the new arrivals to the team would be the one to replace Mohamed Salah during his absence.

Dutchman Jeremie Frimpong, a former Bayer Leverkusen 04 player, is the likely first replacement for Mohamed Dallah on the right wing in a dynamic manner.

What did Slott say about this process?

The Dutchman put an end to speculation in the English and African media about who would replace Salah in these six matches, when he said: "We definitely thought about that. We brought in Jeremie Frimpong because we think he can play as a right full-back but I also think and feel he can play as a right-winger

we did think about the fact that we're going to miss Mo, I think as a maximum for six games – but that's quite a lot in the Premier League, especially if you see how well he did last season".

"Signing Jeremie Frimpong was for multiple reasons but one of them was also that he could replace Mo if Mo is not there. There are other options for me to replace Mo with as well – but Jeremie is definitely one of them" Slot said.
