Liverpool coach Arne Slot says he hasn't spoken to Mohamed Salah since the forward's public criticism of the club.

FSG are sympathetic towards Slot, believing he did not deserve to be on the receiving end of Salah’s barbs. The Dutch boss has sought to defend the 33-year-old during his spell out of the team, even hailing his professionalism in response to the decision.

The Egypt international returned to action on Saturday with the league champions after being dropped following an incendiary interview.

With Mohamed Salah already absent and pressure mounting, Alexander Isak briefly delivered exactly what was needed—before misfortune struck again.

Liverpool coach Arne Slot says he will have talks with Mohamed Salah imminently after the forward’s explosive outburst last week threw his Anfield future into doubt.

Isak was forced off with a nasty-looking knee injury 15 minutes after coming on against Tottenham on Saturday night.

"I'm calm, polite, but that doesn't mean I'm weak," Slot said when asked about Mohamed Salah's explosive rant over the weekend. "It's up to us as a club to react and you can see he isn't here."

A January Dilemma Amid Defensive ConcernsArne Slot’s tenure at Liverpool has been defined by ambition, particularly in the club’s lavish summer spending spree.
