The return of the number 11 drew even more attention after the controversial interview given last month, when he stated he had no relationship with coach Arne Slot. Despite this, Salah reappeared as a substitute in the 2-0 victory over Brighton, contributing with an assist.

Slot stated last week that he was "happy" with the player's return, although he avoided commenting on the content of internal conversations with the 33-year-old forward. The coach, however, did not confirm whether Salah will be on the field in France this Wednesday.

Liverpool currently occupies the ninth position in the league phase of the Champions, competing for direct spots in the round of 16. Salah, the Premier League's top scorer last season with 29 goals, is having a quieter start to the campaign, with only four goals scored so far.
