Liverpool manager Arne Slot commented on the Mohamed Salah situation, who was benched for the match against Inter. Slot stated he has no reason not to want Salah at the club but highlighted the need for reconciliation from the player's side. The final decision on Salah's return to the squad will be made after another conversation with him. Meanwhile, Slot noted the progress of new forwards Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, expressing hope they will play together more often in the future. Forward Federico Chiesa has also recovered from illness and will rejoin the team. It is worth noting that Liverpool currently sits in 10th place in the Premier League with 23 points, 10 points behind leaders Arsenal, while Brighton is in 8th place with the same points total but a better goal difference.
