Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot explained today the reason for leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench.
Idman.Biz reports that the Dutch specialist stated that they had to make changes in the squad due to the upcoming heavy game schedule.
"We play 4 games in 10 days. Sometimes Alex stays in reserve, sometimes Florian. This is the eleven I chose today. It's never an easy decision and it's not the first time I've done it," Slot emphasized.
The head coach emphasized that Salah's remaining in reserve was not due to performance, but purely due to the need for rotation.
