Mohamed Salah: Liverpool boss Arne Slot delivers update on forward after restoring him to squad in Brighton win

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has said he has "no issue to resolve" with Mohamed Salah after the forward impressed off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield.

Salah had been removed from selection for the Champions League win at Inter after he said he no longer had a relationship with Slot following Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Leeds United last Saturday.

But Slot brought Salah back into the squad against Brighton after they held talks on Friday and the substitute made an impact, setting up Hugo Ekitike's second goal from a corner in his final game before leaving for AFCON with Egypt.

"For me, there is no issue to resolve," Slot said after the win that moved Liverpool up to sixth in the table.

"He is now the same as any player. You talk to your players if you are happy or unhappy with things but there is nothing for me to talk about after what happened against Leeds after the game."

Salah stopped to applaud the Anfield crowd, who sung his name all afternoon after he entered the fray, before departing for AFCON, but gave no indication that this was a farewell for good.

Asked if it was his last game for Liverpool, Slot said: "He wasn't the only player who walked around the pitch thanking the fans because the fans deserved a thank you from us.

"Our players worked incredibly hard to keep a clean sheet and for the first time in weeks, maybe months, we had a little bit of luck.

"Mo is going to go the AFCON now. I hope he is going to do very well and in the meantime we have to play here without him with not that many players available."
