"There is uncertainty over the 33-year-old's future following an explosive interview during which he said his relationship with manager Arne Slot had broken down - but Szoboszlai would give no insight into the forward's situation. "That's between me and him. He will come back and then we keep on going. It's the decision between the manager and the club," the 25-year-old said."
"Asked if he had much contact with Salah since he left Merseyside on 15 December, Szoboszlai added: "Yes, to be honest, almost every day. We speak about everything. I'm following him, I guess he is following me. We talk a lot." Salah last played for Liverpool in their 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton on 13 December. Slot said last week he is "happy" to have Salah back - and Saturday's draw against Burnley illustrated why."
"Liverpool had 32 shots, of which 11 were on target, but only scored once despite having an xG of 2.95. Szoboszlai also missed a penalty. "That's the first time we have played really well against a low block and created a lot of chances," said the Hungary attacking midfielder. "We had loads of guys in the box, we had crosses and shots. That is what we have to aim for against Marseille but they don't have a low block - they try to play from the back and we have to be ready for this too.""
Mohamed Salah rejoined Liverpool's squad after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations amid uncertainty following a public breakdown with manager Arne Slot. Dominik Szoboszlai refused to speculate on Salah's future, saying decisions rest with the manager and club and that discussions between them are private. Szoboszlai reported near-daily contact with Salah while he was away. Liverpool created many chances in their recent draw with Burnley but scored only once despite a high xG, and Szoboszlai missed a penalty. Szoboszlai described the Burnley performance as effective against a low block and warned Marseille will play differently from the back.
