❌ Mohamed Salah has been left out of #LFC's travelling squad for their Champions League trip to Inter Milan.
December 8, 2025 at 3:31 PM
🚨 Mohamed Salah took part in #LFC open training today, but is reportedly unlikely to be part of the travelling squad to face Inter Milan.

Arne Slot could be left short in attack, with Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa both absent from training. Wataru Endo and Jeremie Frimpong also not involved.

⚽️ Florian Wirtz equalises for #LFC! Great strike from the German! Jones plays him in, he drops his shoulder to beat two men in the box then powers home to equalise. He finally has his first goal for the club!

🏟 A big night at Anfield as #LFC look to ensure Sunday was not a false dawn.

🤔 After benching Mohamed Salah, Arne Slot will make headlines again whether he recalls him or not vs Sunderland.

But leaving the #LFC forward unused was an ever bolder call. Slot might have downplayed the decision, but it is only the fourth time it has happened to Salah in his entire Reds career.

💰 Few predicted the success Roberto Firmino would have at #LFC after a slow start, but Gary McAllister was in no doubt he would be a success after seeing him in training.

He is just as confident that Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak will thrive too. Sometimes, it just takes a little patience.

🙄 I thought Alexander Isak was decent enough for #LFC yesterday. World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf thought he was 'appalling'. Each to their own.

The France legend has shared his sympathy with compatriot Hugo Ekitike after taking aim at the Swede.

🤨 It would appear Bayern Munich still aren't over missing out on Florian Wirtz to #LFC.

Uli Hoeness has fired another bitter dig at the Reds, with the scorned Bayern chief unable to prevent himself patronising his compatriot in the process either.

GOAL! Liverpool level! A simple tap-in for Dominik Szoboszlai to level the scores after Kovar's save from Gakpo's low strike fell kindly for him in the box.

🔴 Federico Chiesa was given a rare start the last time #LFC faced PSV as he struggled with fitness issues after a disjointed pre-season.

Alexander Isak is now suffering a similar fate, but Chiesa at least shows patience pays off - even if their contrasting treatment also acts as a reality check.

😬 Alexander Isak has been slammed for his 'anonymous' display in #LFC's loss to Nottingham Forest.

✍️ Arne Slot will be growing accustomed to 'Sacked in the morning' taunts, but yesterday was a new low as a different chant rubbed salt in the wounds.

His players all looked baffled after his first #LFC substitution. They looked to the bench for answers, but Slot is struggling to provide them.

Way off the pace against Nottingham Forest, Arne Slot made the wrong decision starting the #LFC striker as his latest gamble backfired.

🤔 #LFC have put together new-look, big-money attacks before. Sometimes it clicks instantly, sometimes it needs a more time.

Ray Houghton was once part of one of the most successful new-look frontlines. Exclusive interview as he offers his insight on why it's yet to click for Arne Slot's side.

🤕 It's only been two weeks since Arne Slot challenged Conor Bradley to improve his durability to make the #LFC RB berth his own.

The Reds are now without a natural option once more as his latest injury comes at the worst time. No wonder Slot dropped a transfer hint in his latest press conference.
