Mohamed Salah injury update ahead of Brighton vs Liverpool
Arne Slot has provided an injury update on Mohamed Salah ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday.
Salah was on the scoresheet in midweek as Liverpool cruised to a 4-0 win over Galatasaray to book their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals.
But it was not all good news for Salah on the night, with the Egyptian forward forced off with 15 minutes remaining at Anfield.
Afterwards, Slot confirmed that Salah had requested to be substituted after he ‘felt something’, but gave no further specifics on the nature of the potential injury.
However, the Liverpool boss has now confirmed that Salah will be unavailable for Saturday’s trip down to the south coast.
‘It is unusual, and as a result of that, I think you can expect the outcome so not available for tomorrow,’ the Dutchman confirmed.
Asked about the extent of the injury, Slot added: ‘The good thing for Liverpool, for us is that we go into an international break.

‘The bad thing for Egypt is that he can’t go there, but we are hoping also with what Mo has shown in the past that he can recover faster than what other players might in similar situations because he just takes such good care of his body, and history has shown that he can be back earlier than others.
