Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says Mohamed Salah has been rested for today's game with Galatasaray, with the Reds' boss taking the chance to rotate his side. Jeremie Frimpong, he confirmed, will play on the right wing in place of Salah.



Dominik Szoboszlai will play full-back again, a role that he has excelled in so far this season. Liverpool has more depth available this season after a big summer of transfers and it is keen to use it to go far in each competition.

Salah has not had the best start to the new season. Last season, Liverpool finished top of the Champions League group phase, winning seven games out of eight.
