Overview
- Salah did not travel for Tuesday’s Champions League match at Inter despite training on Monday, following his unused-substitute role at Leeds and three straight benchings.
- Liverpool say there will be no formal disciplinary action, with multiple outlets reporting the board supports Slot’s control over selection.
- In a post-match interview, Salah said he felt “thrown under the bus,” declared he has no relationship with Slot, and suggested the upcoming Brighton game could be a farewell before AFCON.
- His involvement against Brighton is unclear as he is scheduled to join Egypt in mid-December for the Africa Cup of Nations, with Egypt’s camp publicly backing him.
- Salah’s output has dipped this season to around five goals in 18–19 appearances, and media reports indicate renewed Saudi Pro League interest ahead of the January window.
