Arne Slot has insisted he has no regrets regarding his management of Mohamed Salah this season, even after the Egyptian superstar officially confirmed his intention to leave Anfield. The tension between manager and star player reached boiling point in December after Salah was dropped from the starting XI for three consecutive matches.
Liverpool legend Vladimir Smicer believes it is only a matter of time before Jurgen Klopp makes a sensational return to the Anfield dugout. The German tactician, who called time on his historic Reds career in 2024, is being tipped to step back into the breach as pressure continues to mount on current boss Arne Slot.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has moved to clarify his fitness situation following concerns that a recurring hamstring issue could jeopardise his participation at the upcoming World Cup. While head coach Arne Slot has confirmed the Brazilian will miss a crucial run of fixtures, the shot-stopper is adamant that he has not suffered a fresh injury setback in his recovery process.
Arne Slot has backed Mohamed Salah to add two more trophies to his cabinet before leaving Liverpool. The Reds boss insists the Egyptian "completely deserves" the glowing tributes following his shock announcement that his time at Anfield will come to an end this summer.
Liverpool have been dealt a staggering blow ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, with Alisson Becker ruled out for a significant period. Arne Slot confirmed the Brazilian goalkeeper faces a race against time to feature again this term, though the Reds have been handed a double boost with the return of Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.
Alexander Isak has rejoined Liverpool's first-team squad at the AXA Training Centre after a lengthy absence. The Swedish international, sporting a new look, has successfully completed a gruelling rehabilitation process following surgery on a complex ankle fracture.
There was always a chance that Liverpool would announce a high-profile departure during the international break and, just three days after their latest Premier League setback at Brighton, the Reds confirmed that Mohamed Salah would be leaving at the end of the current campaign. The timing of the announcement surprised some, but Salah had successfully pushed for the news to be made public more than two months before the end of the season in what felt like an obvious attempt to control the narrative surrounding his painful and unexpectedly early exit.
Liverpool have been handed a significant double boost ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final showdown with Manchester City this Saturday. Head coach Arne Slot has confirmed that both Mohamed Salah - who has already announced he will be leaving the club at the end of the season - and Alexander Isak are expected to return to team training this week.
Liverpool have been handed a significant injury scare just days before their FA Cup encounter with Manchester City after Jeremie Frimpong was forced off during the international break. The wing-back, who has been a vital part of Arne Slot's system this season, lasted less than a quarter of an hour after being introduced for the Netherlands.
Hungary head coach Marco Rossi has issued a blunt response to Arne Slot after the Liverpool manager publicly called for his international stars to be rested. The Reds boss expressed his hope that national team coaches would manage minutes carefully, but Rossi has made it clear he does not take orders from Anfield.
Despite a dip in form that has seen fans voice their frustrations at Anfield, Liverpool are "sticking with" Arne Slot. The Athletic journalist David Ornstein has dismissed suggestions that the hierarchy is looking to make a change in the dugout, noting that the club is already planning for the future with the Dutchman at the helm.
Xabi Alonso is reportedly "ready" to succeed Arne Slot as Liverpool manager this summer. While Slot remains in his post for now, Liverpool's terrible Premier League title defence has left the Dutchman’s future looking increasingly untenable beyond the end of the current campaign. Alonso is said to be waiting in the wings, eager for a fresh start on Merseyside following his recent departure from Real Madrid.
