""First of all, he plays a big game for Egypt on Saturday and then he comes back to us," the Liverpool boss said. "I am happy he comes back. Mo has been so important for this club and me, so I am happy he is back. Even if I had 15 attackers, I would be happy to see Mo back but that is not our situation. "Happy to have him back after an important game tomorrow.""
"Salah caused controversy last month when he gave a sensational interview in which he claimed Liverpool had thrown him "under the bus" for the club's poor form and said his relationship with Slot had broken down. Salah was subsequently omitted from the squad for Liverpool's UEFA Champions League clash with Inter Milan, however he returned to action in the 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion"
Mohamed Salah will return to Liverpool after completing Egypt's participation at the Africa Cup of Nations, with Egypt eliminated by Senegal in the semifinals and a third-place play-off to follow. Salah's recent interview claimed Liverpool had thrown him "under the bus" and said his relationship with Arne Slot had broken down; he was omitted from the Inter Milan squad but played in the 2-0 win over Brighton before leaving for AFCON. Slot said the matter is resolved, described Salah as very important to club and manager, and said talks are ongoing about Salah's availability for the Marseille Champions League match. Liverpool aim to extend an unbeaten run to 12 games in all competitions when they host Burnley, having not lost since the 4-1 defeat to PSV.
