Salah set for spell out with injury in blow for Liverpool

Mo Salah will miss Liverpool’s game against Brighton after picking up an injury, boss Arne Slot has revealed.

But Slot is hoping the forward will not be out for too long with the issue.

“He’s not available for tomorrow,” Slot said.

“The good thing for us is that we go to an international break but the bad thing for Egypt is that he can’t go there.

“But we are hoping with what Mo has shown in the past is that he can recover faster than other players because he takes such good care of his body and history has shown that he can be back earlier than others.

“It’s only two weeks until we go again so let’s hope in that period of time he can be back.”

Meanwhile, Joe Gomez is still not fit enough to start for Liverpool but could feature off the bench.

“Joe was on the bench but he wasn’t able to come in (against Galatasaray),” Slot explained.

“We tried to postpone it as far as we could. He already told me before the start of the game that he didn’t feel good so I said let’s wait until half time and maybe a miracle can happen and we might need you in extra time.

“He might be available for tomorrow but definitely not to start.”
