Slot press conference LIVE - Salah statement, Alisson latest, Liverpool injuries
- On Sunday, Liverpool plays Brentford in the Premier League season finale with Champions League qualification on the line, with Mohamed Salah set to make his final appearance though manager Arne Slot declined to confirm his starting involvement.
- Following a 4-2 loss to Aston Villa last Friday, tensions rose as Salah publicly criticized the team's style of play. The winger announced in March he is leaving Anfield at season's end after reaching an agreement to exit one year early.
- Slot provided positive injury updates on Friday, noting that Alisson and Alexander Isak are training again. The £125m forward missed the recent Villa defeat with a minor injury, while Alisson has been sidelined for two months.
- Despite 12 squad members liking Salah's social media post, Slot remains unfazed, insisting he and the departing forward share the same interests. The head coach said the team trained well this week and will be prepared for the final match.
- Qualifying for the Champions League remains the primary focus for Slot's side this weekend. While Salah's exit marks the end of an era, the club aims to replicate the success of previous seasons by securing a top-five finish.
