LIVERPOOL: Arne Slot admitted on Tuesday that “superhuman” Mohamed Salah was unhappy about being omitted from Liverpool’s team for their vital 2-0 win against West Ham, but praised his attitude. The Egypt forward was an unused substitute at the London Stadium on Sunday as Liverpool boss Slot made changes following a terrible run of nine defeats in 12 games in all competitions. Misfiring Salah, 33, has scored just four Premier League goals this season — in stark contrast to his haul of 29 last season, a tally that won him the Golden Boot.

'Is this the start of Liverpool's life without Mohamed Salah?', after he was dropped for his side's 2-0 win at West Ham, asks chief football writer Phil McNulty.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says it is a "fair assumption" that forward Mohamed Salah was unhappy about being an unused substitute against West Ham.
