Liverpool take on Leeds United this Saturday, and Arne Slot has a number of important decisions to make.Slot has already mentioned that three players are not ready to handle three games in six days.Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Joe Gomez have each started Liverpool’s last two matches, but will not be available for the third according to the manager.Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah finds himself on the bench for a second straight game – a first under Slot – and reports suggest his relationship with the manager has soured.Mohamed Salah receives high praise from Caoimhin KelleherPhoto by Gaspafotos/MB Media/Getty ImagesSupporters noticed something was off with Mo Salah when the TV cameras caught him on the bench during the match against Sunderland, sparking speculation about his mood and attitude.Despite questions surrounding his relationship with Slot following his omission from the starting line-up, Caoimhin Kelleher – former Liverpool goalkeeper – still believes the 33-year-old remains one of Reds’ most dedicated players.“Yeah, he’s incredible, man. Such a humble guy as well for like how famous and like such a big star that he is,” Kelleher said about Salah on Fozcast.“He’s so like humble, but he’s the hardest-working as well.“Like every day in the gym, you’re not getting in the gym before him really, I would say.



He’s first in the building.”It is unclear if the ‘Egyptian King’ will be back in the starting line-up for that one.Slot was asked about Salah during his pre-match press conference but did not offer much insight into his plans.“Every player is in my mind to start a game of football because we have so many good players. Mo has been such an exceptional player for us.

He is always in my mind to either start or come in,” the Dutchman said.If Salah stays on the bench, Dominik Szoboszlai may fill in on the right side again, as Federico Chiesa remains out of favour despite impressing when given opportunities.READ MORE: How much it could cost FSG to sack Arne Slot as £80m Liverpool dilemma explained Join Our NewsletterReceive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox
