Salah will depart to the Africa Cup of Nations after the match, with the forward's future set to be discussed further in the coming weeks. Salah suggested last weekend that the Brighton clash could be his last for Liverpool, with the forward leaving to represent Egypt on Dec. 15."

Salah claimed he had been "thrown under the bus" and said his relationship with manager Arne Slot had broken down. Sources said conversations with Slot led to his inclusion this weekend. Salah will depart for the Africa Cup of Nations after the match, and his future could be discussed further, with Saudi interest reported.
