Arne Slot Says Mohamed Salah Matter Resolved as Liverpool Prepares for AFCON
Arne Slot has stated that there are no outstanding issues with Mohamed Salah, declaring the matter resolved as the player prepares to leave for AFCON duty. Salah was reintroduced as a 26th-minute substitute in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brighton after being omitted from the previous Champions League win at Inter following an interview at Elland Road. The second goal in the Brighton match came from a Salah corner, highlighting his contribution to the victory. Slot refused to disclose the details of his conversation with Salah, emphasizing there was nothing left to discuss. He described Salah as a Liverpool player who will be used when needed and noted that Salah had started the majority of games in the prior 18 months. Despite the resolution, talks between Liverpool's hierarchy and Salah's representative are expected during AFCON. Salah is set to depart for the tournament and is expected to return in January after its conclusion.
