Liverpool Forward Salah Set for Return Amidst Uncertainty Over Future
Mohamed Salah is poised to make his return to Liverpool's starting lineup in their upcoming Champions League match against Marseille. The 33-year-old Egypt international had been dropped from the team by manager Arne Slot, but has since reconciled with the coach and expressed no issues with their relationship.
Slot confirmed that there was only one instance where Salah was omitted from the squad - during a recent win over Inter Milan after a public interview in which he criticized the club's handling of him. However, the head coach maintained that the forward has been a regular member of the team since his return to training and praised his influence on the pitch.
Salah, who has struggled with injuries throughout the season, is expected to provide a significant boost to Liverpool's attack against Marseille. His absence had allowed the team to maintain a solid defensive record, but Slot acknowledged that they would be better off with Salah in form.
Meanwhile, midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has denied accusations of disrespect towards his former club Barnsley after missing a penalty in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool's FA Cup rivals. The Hungarian forward insisted that the slip was an error and vowed to continue performing at a high level despite the setback.
The timing of these developments comes as Xabi Alonso's future at the club remains uncertain, with Slot remaining tight-lipped about his availability. However, it appears that Salah will be back in the mix for Liverpool, and the team is eager to return to winning ways in Marseille.
