Mohamed Salah: Questions Still Remain as Liverpool Forward Heads Off to Africa Cup of Nations

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirms Mohamed Salah will play against Brighton before joining Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations, amid ongoing discussions after his Leeds interview.

  • With Arne Slot pencilled in for a 9am press conference, he will preview Liverpool FC's Saturday match at Anfield while Mohamed Salah, Liverpool forward and club legend, is expected to dominate the agenda.
  • Talks between Salah's representatives and the club since last week follow Mohamed Salah's omission from Tuesday's Inter squad after his 'explosive' interview at Elland Road.
  • Slot detailed fitness issues, noting Cody Gakpo has a muscle injury, Wataru Endo an ankle problem, Alex suffered a knock and Federico Chiesa is recovering from illness.
  • Slot said he will speak with Mohamed Salah today and that the outcome will determine selection, stressing the Liverpool club is bigger than the player with injured players returning.
  • Saturday will be Salah's final club match before AFCON, with his parents expected at Anfield and Liverpool's 5-day preparation period after returning midweek from Tuesday's Champions League win.
