Liverpool: Mohamed Salah situation finally resolved

The tension simmering at Liverpool appears to have eased for the first time. After several days of internal unrest, Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot had a face-to-face meeting on Friday in a noticeably calmer atmosphere. A symbolic gesture sealed the moment: the two men shook hands, drawing a line under a saga that threatened to destabilize the dressing room.

This episode followed strong statements from the Egyptian striker, who felt he had been "thrown under the bus" and claimed to have "no relationship" with his coach. Those words led to his absence from the European trip to Inter Milan.

While the situation isn't fully resolved, Salah is once again available for the upcoming home clash against Brighton. Talks are expected to continue in the coming weeks, hinting at a less confrontational outcome than initially feared.
