Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has said he has "no issue to resolve" with Mohamed Salah after the forward impressed off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield.Salah had been removed from selection for the Champions League win at Inter after he said he no longer had a relationship with Slot following Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Leeds United last Saturday. "For me, there is no issue to resolve," Slot said after the win that moved Liverpool up to sixth in the table."He is now the same as any player.

I hope he is going to do very well and in the meantime we have to play here without him with not that many players available."

I never tell you guys what we talk about."Salah delivered a much-improved performance after replacing the injured Joe Gomez in the first half at Anfield and Slot wants him to bring that form back with him once he returns from AFCON.Asked if he hopes Salah comes back and continues in that vein, Slot said: "Yeah.

He's a Liverpool player and the moment he's [here] I like to use him when we need him," added Slot."Today he didn't start as he did a few times before but in the one and a half seasons before he started every game. Today when he came in he had a performance like you would want him to give."He was close to another assist - I think he was shocked to see Virgil next to him in that long sprint.
