Liverpool have been handed a fresh concern with a proposal for the African Cup of Nations to start one week earlier than planned.
The tournament is currently scheduled to get underway in Cameroon on January 9 and come to a conclusion on February 6.
Liverpool are hoping to keep star players Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, as well as midfielder Naby Keita, for as long as possible with a huge clash against one of their title rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on January 2.
The Mirror though have reported that Egyptian side Al Ahly have thrown a spanner in the works.
