Slot takes a shock move before the Champions League match
Mohamed Salah will not be in the squad when Liverpool face AC Milan in tomorrow's Champions League match, several English media outlets confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.
The decision comes just days after Salah lashed out at manager Arne Slot, and the recent suspension is interpreted as a direct consequence of the conflict between the two.
Slot makes its mark
According to The Athletic, Slot has reportedly given a clear message that "no one is above the team." Salah, who was benched in the 3-3 draw against Leeds, is said to have reacted strongly to the coach's actions and shown clear dissatisfaction on the training field.
– This is a clear signal about who is in charge in the dressing room, writes the Daily Mail.
Liverpool in crisis
Without Salah, Liverpool will lose their most experienced Champions League player and top scorer in Europe in recent seasons. The team is already in a difficult situation after poor results in the league and pressure on Slot is increasing day by day.
An away game at San Siro without Salah – it will be a test both sportingly and mentally for a Liverpool team that looks more divided than it has in many years.
