Salah saw his hopes of winning the Africa Cup of Nations dashed on Wednesday when Egypt were beaten by Senegal in the semifinals with former Reds teammate Sadio Mane scoring the only goal.

Egypt finish their tournament this afternoon with a third-place playoff against Nigeria with Salah expected to return to England soon afterwards.

And having not featured for Liverpool for more than a month, there is a chance the 33-year-old will be involved immediately for Wednesday's trip to Marseille.

"First of all, he needs to play another big game for Egypt on Saturday and then he comes back to us," said Slot.
