Mohamed Salah returns to Liverpool squad after Arne Slot talks

Mohamed Salah ends public fallout with manager Arne Slot and rejoins Liverpool squad ahead of Africa Cup of Nations, as team seeks stability during poor league form.

  • Liverpool have included Mohamed Salah in the matchday squad after a private meeting with Arne Slot ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at Anfield against Brighton & Hove Albion.
  • Salah's explosive interview claiming he was 'thrown under the bus' triggered the row, leading to his omission from the Inter Milan squad and several talks between Salah's representatives and Liverpool's representatives last week.

  • This story has filled headlines all week, with Jamie Carragher and Alan Shearer publicly criticising Salah amid Liverpool's poor league, cup, and European results.
