Liverpool manager Arne Slot has hinted that Mohamed Salah will return to the starting line-up for Wednesday's Champions League match against Marseille. Slot made the comments during a press conference held in Marseille on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. The fixture is a crucial away tie in France.
Salah recently returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, where he scored four goals for Egypt. Slot addressed previous speculation regarding their relationship, stating it is "as normal as it's always been". The forward had been dropped from the starting eleven for several games prior to his international duty.
Slot expressed his satisfaction at Salah's return, highlighting the forward's importance to the team's attack. A victory against Marseille would secure Liverpool's progression to the Champions League knockout stages.
