"Liverpool manager Arne Slot has spoken out on the situation with star player Mohamed Salah as it remains to be seen if he'll play against Brighton this weekend. Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield on Saturday at 3pm, and all eyes will be on Salah, who was dropped from Slot's squad to face Inter Milan in midweek, having been on the bench for the last three Premier League games. The Egypt international did not respond well to being dropped to the bench, having publicly criticised Slot in an explosive interview after the 3-3 draw away to Leeds United."
"Salah surely hasn't lost all his talent over a matter of months, but he is at the age where some key attributes can start to wane quickly. The former Roma man simply hasn't looked as sharp in front of goal, and throughout his career he often relied on his pace and dribbling qualities. Those things will go with age, and perhaps Slot is justified in thinking his team could look stronger overall without Salah in it now."
Liverpool will host Brighton at Anfield on Saturday with Mohamed Salah's participation uncertain following recent selection decisions. Salah was dropped from Arne Slot's squad for the Inter Milan game and has been on the bench for the last three Premier League matches. Salah publicly criticised Slot after the 3-3 draw at Leeds, prompting Slot to omit him from the Champions League matchday squad. Slot has held numerous talks with Salah's representatives and plans further meetings, saying a conversation with Salah will determine his availability. Statistical trends and Salah's advancing age suggest a reduced impact in key attributes such as pace and dribbling.
