Liverpool head coach Arne Slot refused to confirm whether Mohamed Salah will feature in Sunday's final match of the season at Anfield. This has cast doubt on whether the forward, expected to leave the club, will make his final appearance at his home stadium. The 33-year-old Egyptian legend is on the verge of ending his nine-year tenure on Merseyside amid reports of a deteriorating relationship with the manager. This is reported by Goal.com .
The experienced forward, who has scored 257 goals in 441 appearances for Liverpool, recently sparked controversy on social media by criticizing the team's tactical style. This public criticism, combined with his exclusion from the squad for the Champions League match against Inter, suggests that the relationship between Slot and Salah has completely broken down. Consequently, the manager left questions unanswered regarding whether the star player would be given a farewell opportunity in the match against Brentford.
In the press conference, Slot emphasized that he does not want to talk about team selection: "I never talk about the lineup in advance. My feelings on this matter are not important. The most important thing is securing Champions League qualification on Sunday. I must prepare Mohamed Salah and the entire team in the best possible way for this crucial match."
The coach did not hide his intention to change the team's style of play. According to him, the team must display football that pleases the fans and allows them to compete for trophies next season. Despite tactical disagreements within the squad, Slot added that the main goal is the club's success and that work will be done to develop the roster during the summer.
