Egypt forward Mohamed Salah has been recalled to Liverpool’s matchday squad for their Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield.
The 33-year-old was included in the squad after a chaotic week marked by his explosive interview and strong criticism from fans and former players. Manager Arne Slot had earlier left him out of the midweek game against Inter, with reports suggesting the club wanted to calm tensions following his controversial comments.
Salah’s return signals Liverpool’s attempt to steady the situation as the team continues to struggle for form.
What Happened Between Salah and Liverpool?
The incident began after Liverpool’s 3–3 draw with Leeds United, where Salah openly expressed frustration about his reduced playing time and how the club has handled his future. He said promises made to him in the summer were not kept and claimed that someone within the club “doesn’t want me here.”
The remarks caused immediate backlash. Reports later suggested that Liverpool decided to leave him out of the Inter match not as punishment but to prevent further distractions in the dressing room.
With Salah now back in the squad, all eyes will be on how he responds on the pitch and whether this marks the beginning of a smoother path for both player and club.
