Arne Slot has backed Mohamed Salah to overcome his current slump in form following a week in which the Liverpool star caused controversy with his social media activity. It has been a difficult start to the new campaign for last season's star man, and Salah has managed just one Premier League goal in eight matches.

"We started the season with seven wins and that a difficult moment for everyone, let alone if you lose four times." Salah's form has underwhelmed this season. (Image: Getty) On Salah's form, Slot added: "I don't know if it's sharpness or not.

It's so difficult for me to say why this is – I could come up with a few reasons which I'm not sure that is the reason but I think in general in football players miss chances and Mo is a human being as well. "That is what I expect him to do in the upcoming weeks and months for our club as well." Salah has started all eight Premier League matches so far this season, but his place in the line-up against Brentford is under threat after the Reds put their best performance of the season without the former Roma man on Wednesday.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
