Overview
- BBC and Sky report that Salah has been named in Liverpool’s squad to face Brighton following a Friday conversation with Slot.
- Slot previously left Salah out of the Inter Milan trip after the forward’s claim their relationship had collapsed, and Liverpool won 1-0 using a new Isak–Ekitike pairing.
- Press reports say an earlier meeting involving Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes concluded without an apology from Salah.
- Separate reports describe broad dressing-room support for Slot, with fans chanting his name during the Inter match.
- Salah is expected to join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations after the Brighton fixture, as speculation continues about January interest from Saudi clubs.
