Liverpool head coach Arne Slot will welcome back Mohamed Salah from the Africa Cup of Nations next week and insisted he would be happy to see the forward.

The Egypt international's last appearance for the Reds was in mid-December when he came off the bench against Brighton, just five days after he was left out of the squad for his outspoken comments when he questioned his future at the club after claiming he had been "thrown under the bus".
