Salah Returns as Slot Shares Liverpool Injury News Prior to Aston Villa Encounter

In a vital match that may determine Champions League qualification, Liverpool head to Villa Park level on points with Unai Emerys side in fourth place.

Slot faces demands to clinch a spot in Europes top competition following confirmation of his continued role as Liverpool boss past this campaign.

Before facing Villa, the Dutch coach delivered an uncertain injury report, stating that defender Ibrahima Konate has joined training sessions and will feature, as will Mohamed Salah.

However, it remains a "wait and see" situation for goalkeeper Alisson Becker and midfielder Florian Wirtz, both dealing with their injuries.

"Ibou is fine, he has trained alongside the team," Slot commented.

"Mo should be ready tomorrow but only for limited time, though we hope he can contribute.

"Alisson trained oddly with us once more. We will assess his condition tomorrow, whether he can play or needs another week of sessions.

"For Florian, we will check his fitness tomorrow. He is taking antibiotics, so it depends if he can join the game."

Winning this encounter would effectively lock in fourth spot before their last outing versus Brentford, thanks to their better goal difference against the Villans.
