Mohamed Salah is expected to rejoin Liverpool’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, according to ESPN sources. The 33-year-old had been left out of the Reds’ midweek win over Inter Milan in the Champions League after delivering a high-profile interview following Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United.
Salah’s absence in midweek fueled speculation about his standing at the club, with remarks suggesting he felt he had been “thrown under the bus” and implying tension with manager Arne Slot. Despite these tensions, insiders say talks held on Friday concluded that Salah should be included in the squad for the Brighton game, a decision viewed as in the best interests of everyone involved.
After this weekend’s match, Salah is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations. His long-term future at Liverpool is expected to be revisited in the weeks ahead as part of ongoing discussions with the club.
This development arrives amid broader debate about Salah’s role and the trajectory of his career at Anfield, inviting fans to weigh in on whether his future remains with Liverpool or if a new chapter might lie elsewhere.
