Arne Slot has invited the wrath of Mohamed Salah by dropping Liverpool’s waning forward for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon. Leading scorer Hugo Ekitiké and first-choice center back Ibrahima Konaté also figured on the bench amid five changes from the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray.
Salah very publicly fell out with Slot in December after he was dropped to the bench for three games in succession. The team’s perennial top scorer claimed to have been “thrown under the bus” and argued: “I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it.”
