Slot shares Salah reaction to Liverpool dropping and names AFCON exit date

Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed Mohamed Salah’s departure for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15 after being dropped from the starting lineup amid form concerns.

  • On Sunday, Arne Slot dropped Mohamed Salah from Liverpool's starting XI, ending 53 consecutive Premier League starts and leaving him an unused substitute in a 2-0 win at West Ham.
  • Slot reshuffled his attack for the trip to West Ham, starting Alexander Isak with Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo amid Liverpool FC’s six defeats in 13 league games.
  • Third on the club list with 250 goals, Mohamed Salah agreed a contract in April until 2027 but has struggled for top form after last season's Premier League Golden Boot.
  • With the tournament running December 21 to January 18, Mohamed Salah was named in Egypt national team's squad and could miss up to eight Liverpool FC matches, including trips to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
  • It's a fair assumption , Slot said, praising Salah's professionalism in training and noting ongoing talks between the player, the club and the national team.
