Mohamed Salah is not only in the argument of being Liverpool’s greatest player of all time, but he’s also been one of the best in the world over the last decade. So why have things turned so sour?

Salah previewed the visit from Brighton as potentially his last ever appearance at Anfield, inviting his family to Merseyside for the occasion. Arne Slot cast doubt over his involvement entirely by dropping him from the squad for Tuesday’s Champions League win over Inter.

Salah will now depart to join the Egyptian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, but manager Arne Slot expects him to come back to the club at the conclusion of the tournament amid transfer speculation.

Liverpool coach Arne Slot says he will have talks with Mohamed Salah imminently after the forward’s explosive outburst last week threw his Anfield future into doubt.

Mohamed Salah's Liverpool row felt like "humiliation" for Egyptian fans, who are rallying behind their star man before the Africa Cup of Nations begins.
