Rewind just a week, and the idea that Mohamed Salah would already have played his final game for Liverpool was unimaginable. The accusations that he leveled at Liverpool and Slot by now are well-documented, but it is no less staggering that they were aired in public.

He will be back in the Liverpool matchday squad to face Brighton this weekend, but, less than a week on, it is clear that the biggest winner from the whole thing was Slot. The Dutchman has dealt with the whole period as well as he could have.

If this is to be the end for Salah at Liverpool — and Slot said talks have been ongoing this week between the club and his representatives before news emerged that he will return to the squad — it will be a sad final chapter. In an ideal world, Salah would use the tournament in Morocco to reset, realize the error he made, and fully reintegrate, regardless of what part he plays this weekend.
