Overview
- Salah publicly said he had been 'thrown under the bus', declared he has no relationship with Arne Slot, and hinted Brighton could be his final Anfield appearance before AFCON.
- Slot confirmed Salah was told he would not travel to Milan and said he has 'no clue' whether the forward will play for Liverpool again.
- Liverpool named a reduced 19-man squad for the Champions League match at Inter after Monday training, with Salah left in England and several teammates also unavailable through fitness issues.
- Club guidance describes a brief withdrawal from selection rather than disciplinary action, with doubt over Salah’s involvement against Brighton before he joins Egypt.
- Egypt’s FA publicly backed their captain as renewed reports link Saudi Pro League suitors in January, set against Salah’s lower goal return this season and the team’s poor run.
