Egypt manager Hossam Hassan has brushed off talk of a “crisis” for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool as he backed the winger to use his time at the Africa Cup of Nations to rediscover his best form.
Salah endured a difficult start to the 2025–26 season, leading Reds manager Arne Slot to bench him for Premier League games against West Ham United, Sunderland and Leeds United. The winger subsequently claimed he had been “thrown under the bus” by the club and said he doesn’t “have any relationship” with Slot.
