Mohamed Salah is an injury doubt for Brighton after the Liverpool forward asked to be substituted in the Reds' 4-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray. The Liverpool talisman requested to come off during Wednesday's commanding 4-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray.
Salah missed a first-half penalty following Dominik Szoboszlai's opener but subsequently played a crucial role in all three second-half strikes, setting up Hugo Ekitike to double the advantage before his saved shot was tucked away by Ryan Gravenberch moments later.Salah then notched his 50th Champions League strike with a characteristic finish, establishing himself as the competition's all-time leading African goalscorer. In his post-match comments, Slot praised the Egyptian's resilience to recover from the spot-kick disappointment but confirmed Anfield's third-highest scorer of all time will require a medical evaluation before the weekend."Injury-wise, he came off not because he felt he had scored enough but because he felt something," the Liverpool head coach said.
"So let's see where he is for the weekend and afterwards."Slot added: "It says a lot about him that after you miss a penalty just before half time, that can sometimes be hard for an individual or for a team, so compliments to the team for how we came out in the second half."Because we have had a lot of setbacks this season, a lot of first halves or second halves where we have created chance after chance after chance without doing justice to how we have performed - so not scoring."And then Mo and the team came out in the second half they way they did, so he assisted Hugo, a great assist and then scored a trademark goal that he has scored so many times in this stadium and for this club, cutting inside, finding the corner.
