Mohamed Salah was named on the Liverpool substitutes bench for the fourth Premier League game in a row despite patching things up with manager Arne Slot.
Salah surprisingly took aim at the club and his manager after having a watching brief for the entirety of Liverpool’s 3–3 draw with Leeds United last Saturday, and was subsequently left out of the squad for the midweek win over Inter Milan in the Champions League.
After Slot confirmed he’d have showdown talks with Salah on Friday, in an attempt to clear the air between the two, it was revealed that the Egyptian would return to the matchday squad at least for the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield.
But when the teams were announced around an hour and a quarter before kick-off, Salah was again among the nine substitutes—alongside £125 million British transfer record signing Alexander Isak, who has endured a surprisingly slow start to life at Anfield.
