"Salah is very important to me" - Arne Slot admits he's delighted with the Egyptian's return

Arne Slot acknowledges Salah's importance to the team.

Details: Ahead of the Premier League Matchweek 22 clash between Liverpool and Burnley, the Reds' head coach Arne Slot commented on the return of the 33-year-old winger Mohamed Salah to the squad after Egypt's elimination from the AFCON.

Slot emphasizes Salah's exceptional value to the team, making it clear that any tension between player and coach is now a thing of the past:

"I am happy that Mo Salah is coming back. Mo is very important for this club and for me.

I am glad he's back, and even if I had 15 forwards, I would still be happy to see Mo return—but that's not our situation. Happy to have him back after an important game tomorrow."

The Egyptian national team exited AFCON 2025 after a 1-0 defeat to Senegal in the semifinals.

This season, Salah has featured in 20 matches for Liverpool across all competitions, netting 5 goals and providing 4 assists.
