Mohamed Salah back in Liverpool squad for Brighton game after talks with Slot
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) --- Mohamed Salah returned to Liverpool's squad for the
Premier League match against Brighton on Saturday after holding talks with
manager Arne Slot, a week after the star's explosive outburst threw his future
at the club into doubt.
Salah was named as a substitute for the game at Anfield and emerged for the
pre-match warm-up with his teammates to applause from Liverpool fans. The Egypt
forward walked onto the field alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, who put his arm
around Salah's shoulder.
Salah told reporters last weekend that his relationship with Slot had broken
down after being dropped for three straight games and that he felt like
"someone doesn't want me in the club."
He was then left at home when Liverpool traveled to Inter Milan for a Champions
League match on Tuesday, with Slot saying he did not know if Salah would play
again for the club.
Salah was an unused substitute for the 3-3 draw with Leeds last Saturday, after
which he opened up on his frustrations. Before that, he'd been an unused sub in
a win at West Ham and came on at halftime of a home draw against Sunderland.
Salah is Liverpool's biggest star and also the club's record scorer in the
Premier League. He has four league goals in 13 appearances this season.
He is due to head off to the Africa Cup of Nations next week and said last week
he did not know what would happen while he was away.
