Liverpool Coach Confirms Mohamed Salah's Commitment Ahead of Tottenham Clash

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has delivered a clear message regarding the future of Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah, asserting that "actions speak louder than words" ahead of the upcoming Premier League match against Tottenham on Saturday.

Salah's Record-Breaking Performance Amid Speculation

Slot's remarks followed Salah's recent absence from the squad for the Champions League match against Inter Milan. He returned to the lineup, setting records for the most goals and assists by a single player in Premier League history. Despite ongoing speculation about a potential transfer to clubs in the Saudi league, Salah's recent performance against Brighton has renewed optimism among Liverpool supporters about his commitment to the team.


Emphasis on Performance

During a press conference on Friday, Slot stated:
"I mentioned last week that actions speak louder than words. We have moved past that, and Mohamed was in the lineup and participated. His focus is now on the Africa Cup of Nations with his national team, which is natural."

The coach emphasized that player evaluations are based on their performance rather than media narratives, underscoring Salah's integral role within the squad.


Injury Updates

In terms of injuries, defender Joe Gomez will be sidelined for the match against Tottenham due to injury. Full-back Cody Gakpo has shown marked improvement but will not be fit for the game. Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai participated in training for the first time and will be assessed for match readiness.



Slot's comments confirm that Salah remains a key figure in Liverpool's strategy, especially as the team gears up for a challenging fixture against Tottenham, buoyed by the presence of their star player.
