Arne Slot has shared a fitness update on Mohamed Salah, with the forward expected to miss Liverpool’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.
The Egyptian star has had an inconsistent season but recently showed his quality with a brilliant solo goal against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League. However, he was unable to complete that match, and it now appears he’ll also be unavailable for Egypt during the upcoming international break.
Speaking in his press conference, Slot described the injury as unusual and confirmed Salah won’t be fit for the next game. He added that while it’s a boost for Liverpool that the international break allows time for recovery, it’s a setback for Egypt, who will be without their star player.
Slot remains optimistic about Salah’s recovery, noting his professionalism and physical conditioning could help him return quicker than expected. With only a couple of weeks before club football resumes, there’s hope he’ll be back soon.
While the situation isn’t as serious as it could have been, it’s still a blow for Liverpool to lose such an important player at a crucial point in the season, as they push for a top-four finish and continue their campaigns in the Champions League and the FA Cup.
