The Dutchman moved to calm speculation over Salah’s future after the Egyptian’s fiery criticism of the club following last weekend’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, sparking questions about his future at the Merseyside club, who are languishing in 10th place with 23 points from 15 matches, a stark contrast to last year’s title-winning campaign.

Salah was left out of the team that traveled to Italy for their 1-0 Champions League victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday.

“I will have a conversation with Mo this morning, the outcome of that conversation determines how things will look tomorrow,” Slot told reporters on Friday.
