Liverpool head coach Arne Slot will have the final say on whether to bring Mohamed Salah back into his squad but that will depend on the outcome of his next conversation with the forward.

The Egypt international was omitted from the Champions League trip to Milan in midweek following his explosive comments last weekend in which he said his relationship with the Dutchman had broken down, had been “thrown under the bus” in response to recent results and suggested Saturday’s visit of Brighton could be his last match at Anfield.
