Despite 12 squad members liking Salah's social media post, Arne Slot dismissed the criticism at his press conference on Friday morning, stating he had not observed any negative impact on the team's training or morale this week. Slot emphasised that his primary focus remains on preparing the team for their crucial final game against Brentford on Sunday, where they need just one point to secure qualification for the Champions League. The Liverpool head coach asserted that both he and Salah share the same ultimate goal: the club's success, acknowledging mutual disappointment with the team's performance this season compared to the last. In terms of squad fitness, Slot provided an update that goalkeeper Alisson would train with the team, and striker Alexander Isak would participate in parts of training, suggesting potential returns for the upcoming vital match.
