Liverpool Echo IconNewsLiverpool NewsLiverpool FCWe asked fans what they thought of the row between the Egyptian star and his manager ahead of today's matchLiverpool fans at Anfield have given their views on the Mo Salah situation as the forward returns to the Reds' squad today following his explosive outburst. Reds' boss Arne Slot has named Salah in the squad, but on the substitutes bench, for the match with Brighton, which kicks off at 3pm today.That decision comes after conversations between Salah and Slot on Friday.
Last weekend the Egyptian forward sensationally told journalists that his relationship with the manager had broken down and suggested someone at the club was trying to get him out after he was named on the substitutes bench for three matches in a row.Following the comments, Liverpool left Salah at home as they travelled to Milan for their 1-0 Champions League win over Inter.As the players were heading for Italy, Salah posted a photo of himself training alone on Instagram.Today's match with Brighton is Salah's last chance to play in front of Reds fans before he travels to represent Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.Ahead of the Brighton game today, many fans felt that while Salah should not have said what he said in such a public forum, they wanted to see him play today and remain with the club for the longer term.Others said they felt Salah had not played well enough in recent times to start today's match.But all the fans we spoke to outside Anfield today said they regarded Salah as a club legend and hoped that today would not be the last time they saw him stepping out onto the famous pitch.Asked at his Friday press conference about the Salah situation, Arne Slot said: "I will have a conversation with Mo this morning. The outcome of that conversation determines how it will look tomorrow."The Reds' manager also said there are "no reasons to not want Salah to stay" when asked about the Egyptian's future at the club."What I need is a conversation with him and the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not in here.
There's not much more to say about it. I will speak to him today and the outcome of that conversation determines how things will look tomorrow."Along with Salah, Liverpool's record signing Alexander Isak is also on the bench for today's match.
