Despite training with his Liverpool team-mates on Monday, Salah was informed by Slot that he wouldn't be making the trip to Italy.



Alisson, who is close friends with Salah, also intends to speak with the winger, but maintains his support for Slot as Liverpool's head coach.Alisson addressed reporters after Slot's press conference on Monday and was asked if he had discussed Salah's interview. I will speak with him, but that will be private."When probed for his take on the situation, Alisson conceded that he admires Salah for his contributions over the years, and is unhappy about the disruption to the squad."It's not an easy situation," the shot-stopper confessed.

Our focus is on that."Given how fresh the situation remains, Slot has yet to engage in an in-depth discussion with Salah regarding his remarks.Slot confessed he was unaware of any relationship issues before Saturday evening, and wants to hear Salah's perspective first-hand.Liverpool stars Alisson (left) and Mohamed Salah have been team-mates at Anfield since 2018 (Image: PhilNoble/Pool/AFP)Nevertheless, with Salah due to link up with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15, Slot has limited time to mend fences.Slot was candid, acknowledging uncertainty over whether Salah would continue featuring, but insisted: "I'm a firm believer that there is always a possibility to return for a player."The notion that Salah may have already featured in his last match for Liverpool seems implausible, with Alisson hoping this represents merely a minor setback rather than a major rift."I hope he plays for the club again, but that's a situation between Mo and the club," he added. Now it's important how we react."While Salah may have felt frustrated after being dropped for the third consecutive match, he maintains he penned a two-year extension last season with assurances regarding his involvement.Following his omission from the starting team for Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds, Salah remarked, "Now I'm sitting on the bench, and I don't know why."It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus.
