FOOTBALL – LIVERPOOL coach Arne Slot said he was delighted to have Mohamed Salah returning from Africa Cup of Nations duty soon, despite an apparent falling-out just weeks ago.
In a fiery outburst after a 3-3 draw at Leeds United, the Egyptian forward accused the club of throwing him “under the bus” and said his relationship with Slot had broken down.
The 33-year-old, who will be involved in Egypt’s third-place match against Nigeria today, had been left on the bench for three matches and has not started for Liverpool since November.
