Mohamed Salah faces uncertainty regarding a potential farewell appearance for Liverpool in their season finale against Brentford. Manager Arne Slot has remained tight-lipped on whether the forward will be involved, following a period of intense friction between the pair.
The forward, who has scored 257 goals in 441 appearances for the Reds, recently sparked controversy by publicly demanding a tactical shift in the team's play on social media. This incident followed an earlier exclusion from the squad against Inter Milan after the player admitted his relationship with the head coach had completely broken down.
I never say anything about team selection. I don't think it is that important what I feel about it. What is important is that we qualify for the Champions League on Sunday and I prepare Mo and the whole team in the best possible way for the game. Arne Slot
Liverpool currently sit on the verge of securing a Champions League spot for next season. Sunday's match at Anfield is a must-not-lose fixture, as failure to secure a point could have significant consequences for the club's summer transfer recruitment strategy.
When questioned about other squad members showing support for Salah's online critique, Slot insisted that he focuses only on the training ground, where he claims he has seen no difference in attitude. With Salah expected to leave the club this summer, the match against Brentford could mark the end of his Liverpool career, though the manager remains focused purely on the collective objective.
