Mohamed Salah (top) started 53 Premier League matches in a row before he was named on the bench against West Ham on Sunday
Liverpool manager Arne Slot described forward Mohamed Salah as a "top professional" for his response to being dropped.
After nine defeats in 12 games in all competitions, Slot named Salah on the bench for Sunday's 2-0 Premier League win at West Ham.
It was the first time he has been dropped in the league since April 2024, under Slot's predecessor Jurgen Klopp.
Egypt international Salah, who won the Golden Boot in the Premier League last season with 29 goals, has scored only four times in the top flight this season.
