Liverpool head coach Arne Slot commented ahead of the Premier League Matchweek 15 fixture against Leeds on his decision to leave Mohamed Salah on the bench for the third consecutive match.
Details: Arne Slot admits that the decision to bench Mohamed Salah was a tough one, as Salah is an outstanding and extremely important player for the team, but sometimes such calls have to be made.
"It's never an easy decision, because we all know what a great player he is," Slot said.
Slot explained that he selects players based on who he believes is needed for a particular game, taking into account tactics, the opposition, and the match situation. That's why he decided to leave Salah on the bench.
"It's my responsibility to choose the team that I think is needed today. That's why I made this decision," the Dutchman added.
Reminder: Oliver Glasner could take charge at Liverpool if Arne Slot is dismissed.
