So I don’t think Saturday is the resolution, but I think it’s an important step.“The reason I say Slot’s doing it for the best interests of Liverpool is, I think if he was just thinking about himself and his authority, he would think that Salah doesn’t deserve to be back in the squad for what he did.“I think Slot’s looking at the bigger picture and thinking what’s best for the side and the club is to bring him back in.”The future hint Mohamed Salah could give vs BrightonSaturday’s game is going to be interesting, and though he’s back in the squad, it does seem unlikely Salah will start.But his actions when he either comes on or after the full-time whistle should tell us a lot about what the attacker is thinking.When he first spoke out against Liverpool, Salah said he told his family to come to this Saturday’s match.He explained: “I called my mother yesterday, you didn’t know I wasn’t going to start today, I knew that.

I said come to the Brighton game, it doesn’t matter if I play or not, I’m going to enjoy it.”So, if Salah’s family is in attendance and he addresses the crowd post-match, it could well be the case that he has decided against staying, and the Brighton fixture will indeed be his farewell.
