Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has spoken candidly about the ongoing tension involving Mohamed Salah, admitting the situation is far from enjoyable as the Reds prepare to face Brighton at Anfield . The Dutchman addressed the issue while stressing that every decision he makes must serve the club's interests first, with Liverpool seeking a league response after recent turbulence.
The importance of the Brighton fixture has already been underlined within the squad, as highlighted by Milos Kerkez's comments ahead of the match reported by SoftFootball .
Slot's comments, which were posted by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account , come just days after Salah was recalled to the squad following a tense week that saw him left out of the Champions League win over Inter Milan . That decision, and the wider fallout, has dominated discussion ahead of Saturday's kickoff, with Anfield set for a charged atmosphere.
