"it's not about me, it's about the rest of the team, Van Dijk said when asked if it was a test of his captaincy. I speak to Mo, I speak to almost all the players, I hear and observe and that is the most important thing. If you feel that it could be a problem within the squad and it affects performances you have a different story but I think we showed this week we are absolutely united and we go forward as one"
"We hope he will be successful there and all hope he comes back and that is important for us for the rest of the season. But on the other side of it, we all know football and have no idea what will happen. I hope he stays as he is one of my leaders, a very important player which you saw with another assist"
Mohamed Salah was reinstated to Liverpool's squad after being dropped for the Champions League trip to Inter following an outburst after the 3-3 draw at Leeds. Arne Slot recalled Salah for the win over Brighton, where Salah came on early for the injured Joe Gomez and delivered the corner leading to Hugo Ekitike's second goal. Salah will join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations and could be absent for over a month, allowing time for his future to be resolved. Virgil van Dijk emphasized team unity, expressed hope Salah stays, and acknowledged uncertainty around the situation. Salah spoke with the head coach and was reintegrated into matchday plans.
