"Liverpool” club head coach Arne Slot commented on the unpleasant situation with him and Mohamed Salah and the media attention on Saturday:

"I am not at all pleased with this situation with M. Salah. We won the Premier League together, and he has given a lot to the 'Scousers'.”

Ideally, you wouldn’t want to be in such a situation with your player.”

"I don't like this whole situation... but I have to select a lineup that I believe is best for the entire team.”

"If I could, and it would be good for our entire squad, I would definitely want to avoid all the media circus on Saturday.”

I don’t think this is a circus for me. But if it’s going to be something similar, it won’t benefit anyone. Therefore, I will try to avoid it as much as possible.”

33-year-old Mohamed Salah did not travel with the team to Milan and had been satisfied with a bench role for some time prior.

M. Salah has scored 5 goals in 19 matches this season.
