Talks will determine if Salah is involved on Saturday
Slot says he makes final decisions on team selection
Arne Slot has said Mohamed Salah’s involvement against Brighton on Saturday rests on the outcome of a conversation the pair will have on Friday morning and insisted he has no reason for wanting the Liverpool striker to leave.
Salah was left out of Liverpool’s Champions League win at Inter on Tuesday after the Liverpool hierarchy, and Slot, decided a short period out of the team was necessary after his highly critical interview at Leeds. The Egypt international claimed he would say goodbye to Anfield on Saturday before heading off on Africa Cup of Nations duty on Monday.
“I will have a conversation with Mo this morning and the outcome of that conversation determines how it will look tomorrow,” said Slot. “What I need is a conversation with him and the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not in here. You can keep on trying but there’s not much more to say other than I will speak to him today and the outcome of that conversation determines how things will look tomorrow.”
