""For me there is no issue to resolve. He is now the same as any other player," said the Dutchman, who had talks with Salah on Friday. "I usually never say anything about what we talk about, I am not going to make an exception now but I think actions speak louder than what has been said and he was in the squad again.""
""When I had to make my first substitution, I brought him in and he performed as every fan including me would like him to today. The moment he is there I like to use him when we need him. When he came in, he had the performance like you would want him to to give. He was a threat and that is very important.""
Mohamed Salah returned to the squad for Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Brighton after being dropped following an outspoken interview. He came off the bench midway through the first half and his corner set up Hugo Ekitike's second goal, after Ekitike had scored the season's fastest opener at 46 seconds. Salah's corner contribution marked his 277th Premier League goal involvement (188 goals and 89 assists), surpassing Wayne Rooney's record. The club will continue talks with Salah's representatives while he is away for AFCON. The manager expressed optimism and praised Salah's impactful performance and connection with the fans.
