Liverpool Line-up for PSG as Mohamed Salah Dropped and Alexander Isak Returns
Liverpool reshuffled the attack after a 4-0 FA Cup loss to Manchester City, leaving Salah on the bench and starting Jeremie Frimpong on the right.
- On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Liverpool manager Arne Slot benched Mohamed Salah for the Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Paris Saint-Germain in Paris.
- Salah paid the price for Liverpool's 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City last weekend, where he missed a penalty and has scored only 10 goals in 35 games.
- Slot selected Jeremie Frimpong to replace Salah on the right wing, with club-record signing Alexander Isak returning to the bench at Parc des Princes after ankle surgery in December.
- With the Champions League representing the only remaining path to silverware, another heavy defeat could jeopardize Slot's future as Liverpool manager this season.
- PSG's in-form attack, featuring Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, poses a formidable challenge for Liverpool before the return leg at Anfield next week.
