With Salah expected to depart the club at the end of the season, Slot faced questions after the match about whether the issue might keep him sidelined for Liverpool’s final four games of the 2025-26 campaign.
Salah’s future
In response, the head coach said: “We don’t know, that’s the best answer I can give because if I say it might be a chance then probably all the headlines are, ‘there might be a chance…’
“We simply don’t know but what we do know is the season is in four weeks over, so there are not a lot of games being played.
“We have to wait and see how his injury is and if he is able to return to play.
“What I do know about Mo is throughout all of these years he has taken such good care of his body that he will have the minimum time required to recover from an injury.
“Let’s hope for the best and that he is available in the last part [of the season].” Slot said.
Important victory
Meanwhile, Arne Slot was pleased by Liverpool’s display of fight during their 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
The Reds secured three points from the Premier League encounter at home, having opened up a two-goal advantage in the first half through Alexander Isak and Andy Robertson.
Daniel Munoz reduced the deficit for the visitors with under 20 minutes remaining, but Florian Wirtz rasped home a clinching goal in added time.
Following the contest, Slot was contented with the outcome:
On how he would sum up the game, Slot said:
”As one that we haven’t had yet and that’s almost impossible because all the things we’ve experienced this season… you could write a book about it, as I said earlier. Every time I think now, OK, now there’s nothing that can happen anymore that didn’t happen yet. But we saw it today, a goalkeeper on the floor and then conceding a goal. The end result is, of course, positive that we were able [to win] in a game where we conceded a goal that you prefer not to concede, you never prefer to concede a goal – but not in this way.”
