"Salah came off the bench for his first Liverpool appearance since claiming he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club following last weekend's 3-3 draw with Leeds. The 33-year-old was left out of the squad for the midweek Champions League win at Inter Milan, but returned for the Brighton game following talks with manager Arne Slot and claimed an assist in the 2-0 win."
""Mo is going to Afcon and we all hope that he'll be successful there and he'll come back and be important for us for the rest of the season. The other side of it is that we all know football and we have no idea what is going to happen. I hope that he stays because he is one of my leaders and still very important for the football club.""
