Liverpool to Lose Wataru Endo in 2024 for AFC Asian Cup

Just as they will with Mohamed Salah, Liverpool will lose Wataru Endo at the start of 2024 as he captains Japan in the AFC Asian Cup. Do mid-season international tournaments really have to be a thing?

The Impact of Mid-Season International Tournaments

Mid-season international tournaments can have a huge impact on domestic football. Last season, the World Cup put a stop to the domestic calendar, but clubs with players competing in the Asian Cup or Africa Cup of Nations won’t be so lucky. Both competitions start in mid-January and Endo will fly to Qatar to lead Japan as they look to go one better than their runners-up finish in 2019.

Typically, players will leave up to a week before the start of the competition and for Endo this would be January 5. If the midfielder made it to the final once more, he could miss up to 10 Liverpool games if we take potential cup appearances and replays into account – the same as Salah.

Potential Matches Endo Could Miss for Asian Cup

The Asian Cup starts on January 12 and runs until February 10. Endo’s team are in Group D and will meet Vietnam (Jan 14), Iraq (Jan 19) and Indonesia (Jan 24). With Japan one of the leading contenders for the trophy, one can expect the new signing to miss the majority of the abovementioned matches.

A lot will depend on how Liverpool progress in their cup competitions, but a run to the final will guarantee a four-game absence in the Premier League (Bournemouth, Chelsea, Arsenal and Burnley).

Conclusion

It is far from ideal for Jurgen Klopp and while the loss of Endo and Salah is less than five months away, it will no doubt have an impact on Liverpool’s season. It is yet another reminder of why mid-season international tournaments are such a nuisance for clubs.
