""I said last week, actions speak louder than words," Slot said when asked if there are still issues to resolve with the player over the coming weeks. "We moved on. He was in the squad and was the first substitution I made. Now he's got AFCON and will play some big games so it's only fair that all focus is on them [ Egypt].""
""I hope we will all see this in results, but I think we are progressing," Slot said. "I had to play players who weren't fit too many times this season. I'm not talking only about the new players. I see players progressing in terms of their fitness and, as a result of that, their performances. I think we are definitely making progress. Winning always gives a good feeling and a spirit after so many changes in the summer. The league table is so close together that winning or losing matters a lot.""
Arne Slot said Liverpool have moved on from the Mohamed Salah saga after the player's interview at Elland Road. Salah was benched for three consecutive games, accused the club of throwing him 'under the bus' and claimed a breakdown in his relationship with Slot, and was omitted from the squad for the Champions League match with Inter Milan. He returned against Brighton, replacing injured Joe Gomez and claiming an assist before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt. Liverpool are unbeaten in five matches across competitions. Slot highlighted improving fitness, player progression after many summer changes, and the tightness of the league table.
