He is a Liverpool player and when he is here I like to use him when we need him. Today he didn’t start as he did for a few games before but in the one-and-a-half seasons before that he started almost every game.

He had the performance like you would want him to give.“He was close to another assist, he was shocked to see Virgil [van Dijk] next to him in that long sprint at the end, he was close to scoring when Fede [Federico Chiesa] assisted him. He said: “The reason he wasn’t in Milan was his interview and the question after that – and everybody has a different opinion – is should he be [out] once, twice, three times, four times, four months or 12 years?

“He wasn’t the only player who walked around the pitch thanking the fans,” said Slot. Today we conceded chances but they didn’t go in.“Mo is going to go to the Afcon now, I hope he is going to do very well and in the meantime we have to do without him without that many players available but the good thing is we play Saturday and again Saturday.”Slot was again asked to clarify whether he wanted Salah to remain at Liverpool.
