Overview
- Liverpool confirmed Mohamed Salah will be in the squad to face Brighton after face-to-face discussions with head coach Arne Slot on Friday.
- Salah was omitted from the midweek trip to Inter Milan following his public claim he was "thrown under the bus" and that his relationship with Slot had broken down.
- Slot said squad selection rests with him, described the Inter decision as a club call, and stated he has no reasons to not want Salah to stay.
- Saturday’s match is set to be Salah’s final Liverpool appearance this year before he joins Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Saudi Pro League interest in Salah has been reported, while Liverpool are assessing Alexander Isak’s knock, have Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo out for weeks, and expect Federico Chiesa to be available.
