Mohamed Salah Returns to Liverpool Squad After Ahmed El Sakka's Intervention

Prior to the match, Egyptian actor Ahmed El Sakka released a video urging Liverpool to reconsider their stance on Salah. In the video, El Sakka stated, "I am Ahmed El Sakka, a prominent figure in the Middle East, and I take pride in sharing Egyptian citizenship with Mohamed Salah. I want to remind everyone of what our compatriot has contributed to the club over the past eight years. Please reconsider Mohamed Salah's position; he is an icon for Egyptians, Arabs, and also for Britons who have always respected him."

Decision to Return to the Bench

Manager Arne Slot confirmed that Salah will be part of the squad but will start on the bench against Brighton. This decision comes ahead of Salah's trip to Morocco to join the Egyptian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, which begins later this week.

Background of the Dispute

Salah's exclusion from the match against Inter Milan followed reports of disagreements between him and Slot regarding playing style. This situation sparked widespread discussion among Liverpool fans, as well as Egyptians and Arabs, until El Sakka's intervention helped to ease tensions and secure Salah's return to the squad.
