Mohamed Salah heads for Morocco this week to captain Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations amid uncertainty over his future at Liverpool.
Salah came off the bench midway through the first half and set up the second goal in a 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton at the weekend.
After the match, manager Arne Slot said there was “no issue to resolve” with his star forward, but speculation continues to rumble over the Egyptian’s future after his outburst last weekend.

The 33-year-old came on as a substitute and seized his chance by setting up Liverpool’s second goal for Hugo Ekitike. Salah had been left out of Liverpool’s squad for Tuesday’s Champions League victory at Inter Milan after his explosive rant about Slot following the recent draw at Leeds.
