"His impending return has been a major talking point after he took aim at the club in an explosive interview in early December. Salah accused Liverpool of throwing him under the bus after he was benched for three games in a row, and said he had no relationship with manager Slot. The 33-year-old was then dropped for the Reds' Champions League game at Inter Milan, while interest grew in the Saudi Pro League about signing the unsettled star."
"And then he comes back to us, and I'm happy that he comes back. Mo has been so important for this club, for me, so I'm happy that he's back. Because even if I had 15 attackers, I still would have been happy if he would have come back, but that's not our current situation. So I'm happy to have him back after an important game that he still has to play."
Mohamed Salah will return to Liverpool on Sunday after completing AFCON duty with Egypt and is likely to play in the third-place playoff against Nigeria on Saturday. Salah publicly criticized Liverpool in early December, accusing the club of throwing him under the bus after being benched for three consecutive games and saying he had no relationship with Arne Slot. He was dropped for the Champions League trip to Inter Milan but returned as a substitute versus Brighton on December 13 and provided an assist. Arne Slot welcomed Salah's return, stressing the player's importance. Salah scored 29 Premier League goals last season but has only four this campaign.
