Mohamed Salah has been included in Liverpool's squad for their match against Brighton after discussions with manager Arne Slot, following controversy from last weekend's game where Salah was benched. Slot emphasized that the decision was made in the club's best interest.

• Salah was benched for Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Leeds and omitted from the squad against Inter Milan, sparking an outburst where he accused the club of throwing him "under the bus."
• He is set to join the Egypt squad for the Africa Cup of Nations after the Brighton game, impacting his Liverpool availability depending on Egypt's performance.
• Salah has scored 250 goals in 420 appearances for Liverpool, but has only managed four league goals in 13 appearances this season, with Liverpool currently 10th in the Premier League.
