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”.

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.

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.
