Speculation has grown over whether Salah’s time at Liverpool is nearing its end, especially after the Egyptian star — whom fans can follow at AFCON 2025 — was left out of the Champions League squad. However, the situation has now shifted.

Will Mohamed Salah Play Against Brighton?

It was clear there had been tension between Salah and Liverpool manager Arne Slot. The Pharaoh voiced his frustration after being benched and was later omitted from the Champions League squad.

That standoff now appears to have eased. Ahead of Premier League Matchday 16, reports confirmed that Mohamed Salah has been included in the squad for the clash against Brighton at Anfield.

“I will have a conversation with Mo this morning, and the outcome of that conversation will determine what the team looks like tomorrow,” Slot said.
“What I need is to talk to him, and I think the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not here.”
