Salah was an unused substitute for Liverpool\u2019s win at West Ham United on Sunday as Slot made four changes to his starting line-up at London Stadium.<\/p>\n
Asked if the No.11 was disappointed to have been named on the bench, the head coach replied: \u201cIt’s a fair assumption and it\u2019s a normal reaction from a player that is good enough to play for us – I say that mildly because he\u2019s been so outstanding for this club for so many years and will be for us in the future. <\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, a player isn\u2019t happy if he is not playing. He wasn\u2019t the only one who was not happy he was not starting, I can tell you. That\u2019s normal, but the way he behaved was as you would expect from the professional he is. He was very supportive of his teammates, handled himself really well during the day and yesterday in the session as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot be a player that\u2019s available every three days and play at those high standards if you go with your emotions. For Mo, he\u2019s so disciplined, knows what to do to stay fit and no matter if he plays well or doesn\u2019t play well, if he plays or if he doesn\u2019t play, he will always be a top professional – and that\u2019s what he was in the last two days.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Salah was an unused substitute for Liverpool\u2019s win at West Ham United on Sunday as Slot made four…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":419693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[2367,25581,12730,25577,25573,25582,25584,25583,1836,25576,25575,25572,25580,10596,25578,221,62,25574,67,132,68,25579],"class_list":{"0":"post-419692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-homepage","11":"tag-klopp","12":"tag-lfc","13":"tag-lfc-news","14":"tag-lfctv","15":"tag-lfctv-go","16":"tag-liverpool-fc","17":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","19":"tag-liverpool-football-club","20":"tag-mane","21":"tag-reds","22":"tag-salah","23":"tag-soccer","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-the-reds","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115650519588622144","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
