Talks with Arne Slot ease tension ahead of Premier League match.

Arne Slot and Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is back in Liverpool’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Brighton after a week of tension with manager Arne Slot. The Egyptian star was left out of the Champions League trip to Inter Milan following comments about a strained relationship with Slot.

Positive discussions between Salah and Slot have eased the standoff, though further talks with his agent Ramy Abbas are expected during the Africa Cup of Nations. With injuries to Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak, Salah’s return gives Liverpool a crucial boost.

The 33-year-old has 250 goals in 420 appearances for the club and is set to depart for AFCON 2025, potentially missing up to eight matches.
