Mohamed Salah is included in Liverpool’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League match against Brighton.
The decision was taken after talks between Salah and head coach Arne Slott on Friday.
Saturday’s match will be Salah’s last chance to play for Liverpool this year before departing for the African Cup of Nations against Egypt.
The forward has not started in Liverpool’s last four games and said he had been “thrown under the bus” by the club after coming off the bench against Leeds last weekend and that his relationship with Slott no longer existed.
The club then decided to exclude him from the squad for Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Inter Milan, but on the same day Salah posted a photo on Instagram of himself training alone in the gym at the training ground.
Asked on Friday if Salah had played his last game for the club, Slott said: “I will speak to Mo this morning and the outcome of that conversation will decide how tomorrow’s game goes.”
“What I need to do is have a conversation with him, and the next time I talk about Mo, I should be with him, not here. There’s nothing more to say about that. I’m going to talk to him today, and the outcome of that conversation will determine how things go tomorrow.”
“It’s good to try different ways. The next person to talk should be him. We spoke a lot last week after the Sunderland game and there was a lot of conversation between his representatives and our representatives and between him and me.
“And today I’m going to talk to him again.”
More to come.
