Mohamed Salah returned from his self inflicted exile to play 70 minutes off the bench against Brighton, setting up Hugo Ekitike’s second goal as Liverpool won 2-0 and climbed to sixth in the table before losing him to Africa Cup of Nations duty. Slot named him on the bench after their public rift, then turned to him when Joe Gomez went off injured, later describing Salah as a constant threat and insisting private talks will stay in house while accepting he now departs with other attackers still missing.

Salah is expected to rejoin Liverpool’s matchday squad against Brighton after clear the air talks with Arne Slot, ending a brief exile triggered by his “thrown under the bus” remarks and giving him one last chance to play before departing for AFCON duty. After being benched three straight league games and omitted from the Inter trip, Salah held discussions involving Slot and club representatives. Slot confirmed talks would shape selection, wants him to stay, and now looks ready to reintegrate the forward amid poor recent results and fan unrest.

In a tense pre-Brighton press conference, Arne Slot repeatedly refused to elaborate on Mohamed Salah’s future, confirming only that he will sit down with the unsettled forward on December 12 after the Egyptian accused Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus”. Slot laughed off repeated attempts to pin him down on what Salah must do to be reintegrated, insisting his focus is Brighton and leaving selection hints vague, as the club’s decision to omit Salah from the Inter trip continues to fuel division and exit talk.

Colombia legend urges Daniel Munoz to pick Liverpool over Barcelona

December 2025

Crystal Palace wing-back Daniel Munoz has attracted serious interest from Barcelona and Liverpool after emerging as one of the Premier League’s most aggressive right-sided threats, prompting public advice from Colombian great Camilo Zuniga on his next move. Zuniga argues Munoz’s high-intensity running and vertical style are better suited to England than Spain’s slower, possession-heavy game, urging him to stay in the Premier League, where Liverpool need a Trent Alexander-Arnold successor and Palace already eye Sacha Boey as a possible replacement.

Villa and Liverpool weigh Harvey Elliott recall as stalled loan triggers January dilemma

Harvey Elliott
December 2025

Harvey Elliott’s season-long loan at Aston Villa has stalled badly, with the midfielder limited to a single Premier League start and excluded from the last seven league matchday squads, putting pressure on Liverpool to consider recalling him before a purchase clause activates. A £35m mandatory buy clause kicks in at 10 appearances, but Emery’s selections and Villa’s strong form have squeezed Elliott out, prompting frank talks between coach, player and both clubs as they search for a solution that guarantees him regular minutes, at Villa Park or elsewhere.

Mohamed Salah has publicly aired frustration at being benched for three straight league games, accusing Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus” and fuelling speculation over a winter exit, just months after signing a new two-year deal at Anfield. After Salah’s explosive post-Leeds rant and ongoing omission from Arne Slot’s starting XI, Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel openly welcomed him as a target, stressing that clubs handle negotiations while hinting strongly that the Egyptian could be lured to the Middle East soon.

December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.

Salah offered early Egypt link-up as January Liverpool exit deemed unlikely

Mohamed Salah
December 2025

Mohamed Salah has been given the option to join Egypt’s camp earlier than scheduled amid outrage over his “thrown under the bus” comments about Liverpool, yet despite the fallout and speculation over Saudi or Turkish bids, a transfer in the January window is currently viewed as very unlikely. Following a third straight benching and unused substitute role at Leeds, Salah publicly complained of broken promises and a lost relationship with Slot, but with AFCON duty imminent and his contract still fresh, the immediate focus is shifting toward international commitments rather than forcing a mid season move.

Liverpool lose Gakpo for weeks as Chiesa illness deepens Inter selection headache

Cody Gakpo
December 2025

Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will miss several weeks and Federico Chiesa will sit out Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan through illness, compounding the decision to leave Mohamed Salah at home amid escalating tension around the forward’s future. Slot said Gakpo’s problem was sustained against Leeds and rules out one of his productive league attackers, while Chiesa’s poorly timed sickness further reduces width as Liverpool travel without Salah, whose public criticism of the club has overshadowed Alisson’s focus on Inter’s impressive form.

Liverpool board back Slot over Salah as Anfield power struggle intensifies

December 2025

Liverpool’s hierarchy have reportedly thrown their full support behind head coach Arne Slot in the fallout from Mohamed Salah’s explosive interview, making clear that the Dutchman retains final authority on selection and discipline as tension builds over the forward’s benching and comments about being scapegoated. What the board’s stance means for Salah’s future remains unclear, but the message that no player is bigger than the club has been repeated around Anfield, increasing the likelihood Slot keeps sidelining him while executives explore options ahead of the January window.
