Salah has remained on Merseyside whilst his colleagues travelled to Italy for their crucial Champions League league phase fixture, despite participating in regular training at the AXA Training Centre on Monday morning.The club made this choice with Slot's complete backing, believing a temporary break from selection serves the best interests of the organisation, the team and Salah personally following his weekend outburst.

Gakpo and Federico Chiesa have also been excluded after missing Monday's training session. But it's not something you can do anything about."So, we are monitoring his situation.

But let's have a fair expectation, that's not what I expect. The shortage of attacking options adds to Slot's mounting challenges, which include dealing with the fallout from Salah's recent outburst and a disappointing run of just four victories in the last 15 matches.Liverpool will also be without Wataru Endo, who missed Monday's training session, as well as injured players Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni.
