It's hard for me to tell who he means in that situation, to be honest."We have let him know that he isn't travelling with us. That's the only communication from us to him.

I haven't felt that at all until Saturday evening for sure."When I didn't play him anymore, usually players don't like the manager that much, but he was very respectful to the staff members and to his team-mates, and he trained really hard, so it was a bit of a surprise when I heard he had made those comments."My reaction to that is also clear and that's why he isn't here tonight." On the possibility of Salah returning to the squad for Saturday's match against Brighton, which could prove the winger's last, Slot added: "We are sitting here on an evening before a big game, a big fixture for us.
