Slot call for calm as Mo's in squad after blowing big top

- PAUL GORST

MOHAMED Salah will be part of Liverpool's squad to face Brighton today after Arne Slot admitted he wanted to avoid "a circus" over the Egyptian's future.

The Reds boss admitted he has not enjoyed the last few days at the club after Salah conducted a bombshell interview after last Saturday's 3-3 draw with Leeds United, where he accused the club of being "thrown under the bus" Despite that outburst Slot hinted there is still a way back for Salah, claiming: "I have no reasons not to want him to stay."

Talks

And positive face-to-face talks with the forward yesterday ended with Salah being named in the squad for today.
