Liverpool FC Training Session And Press Conference - UEFA Champions League 2025/26 League Phase MD6

English press sources report that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah has returned to Liverpool’s squad in preparation for the anticipated match against Brighton in the English Premier League.

This comes after the 33-year-old Egyptian player had a conversation with his former teammate Jordan Henderson, against the backdrop of the tension that marred his relationship with coach Arne Slot.

Salah had been on the bench for Liverpool’s last three league games, amid the defending champions’ troubled start to the season.

After not being brought on as a substitute during the thrilling (3-3) draw with Leeds in the last round, the Egyptian winger made fiery statements, claiming that he had been “thrown under the bus” and that he no longer had any “relationship” with coach Slot.

Following these sharp statements, Salah was completely excluded from the Liverpool squad that traveled to face Inter Milan in the Champions League, which ended with a 1-0 victory for “the Reds”.
