The Egyptian was dropped for the Reds' 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain last week and failed to appear off the bench as Liverpool fell behind in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.It's expected the winger, who is set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, will get more of a chance in Tuesday's return leg. And his chances were boosted on Saturday after Salah made a scoring return to the line-up in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Fulham.Following the first-leg loss in Paris, Slot explained he didn't bring Salah on because he was wary of the deficit growing even larger.

The reporter in question said he believed Salah "deserved better treatment" and respect from Liverpool's coaching staff. Moreover, he suggested his omission at the Parc des Princes was an example of Salah being made "a scapegoat for the team's poor performances."When fans saw Salah had been dropped for arguably the biggest game of Liverpool's season, it inevitably created a storyline that is was due to under-performance.

Following a disappointing 3-3 draw against Leeds, the forward alleged he had been "thrown under the bus" after he was dropped for that game, too.“Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why. I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden we don’t have any relationship."I don’t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club."Slot will have the final say as to whether Salah has his chance at making more of an impact against PSG on Tuesday.
