Slot wishes incredible Salah could claim extra silverware prior to Liverpool departure
Salah has netted 255 goals for Liverpool and contributed to their success with two Premier League crowns, one FA Cup, two League Cups and a Champions League title. He revealed last week his intention to leave at the seasons close.
Slot confirmed Salah is ready for Saturdays FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City.
He practised with the squad yesterday and today, and he is set for tomorrows match, he informed journalists on Friday while lavishing acclaim on the clubs third leading scorer ever.
It has been extraordinary what he achieved for this team over numerous years, performing every three days with those goals, the assists, the influence he brought, and the silverware secured. I simply wish he might collect two more prizes before the campaign wraps up.
Liverpool sit fifth in the Premier League, trailing leaders Arsenal by 21 points, yet they have advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals and will travel to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Alisson still sidelined
Slot's squad lacks their primary goalkeeper Alisson Becker heading into the seasons final two months, as the Brazilian recovers from an injury.
We anticipate his return to fitness by the campaigns conclusion, Slot noted.
Forward Alexander Isak has returned to the group following more than three months out with a fractured leg.
It would be premature to slot him into the starting eleven. He joined our sessions yesterday for the initial time after precisely 101 days, the coach remarked.
Liverpool have dropped both Premier League encounters versus City this term, though Slot highlighted their enhanced display during Februarys 2-1 defeat at home as proof his players can challenge Pep Guardiolas outfit.
In the opening half at Anfield, City controlled the ball. How remarkable was it that we took charge of possession after the break? Few sides manage that against City? Slot questioned.
Now we must demonstrate it in their arena too, which proves tougher without 60000 supporters at Anfield backing us.
