Slot hints at settling issue with Salah, sets conditions for Egyptian star's return

Salah hit the headlines following his harsh comment toward the club and manager a few days ago.

The Egyptian came out on social media to say that he was scapegoated for the team's poor performance following their 3-3 draw against Leeds.

His comment has led to a lot of reaction from fans and pundits, who have had their say on the issue at hand.

Speaking on Amazon Prime, Slot responded to pundit Clarence Seedorf's view on the situation. "You say everyone makes mistakes in life, so the first thing should be: does the player think he's made a mistake as well?" Slot remarked. 

"And then the next question is, should the initiative come from me or him? That's another question to answer."

However, the Liverpool boss later appeared to soften his stance, delivering a more ambiguous message. "Clarence said that in his opinion, and I didn't say who should make the first step," Slot clarified. 

"Tonight it should be all about the players that are here. In the rich history Liverpool has had, they have had many of these evenings."

The comments came after Liverpool secured a vital away win at the San Siro, with Dominik Szoboszlai stepping up to score an 88th-minute penalty, filling the void left by Salah. The victory propels the Reds into the top eight.
