Speaking after the win against Brighton, Slot said that there was "no issue to resolve" with Salah, who scored a corner in the 60th minute when he was brought on as a substitute. Slot stated that Salah is now treated equally to other players, and that there's no need to discuss their conversation after the Leeds match.

Slot confirmed that Salah was left out of the squad for the Inter Milan match due to his comments. He said that every manager makes different decisions and that he spoke with Salah the day before the match.

Slot emphasized that actions speak louder than words, pointing out that Salah was in the squad and performed well when he was brought on against Brighton. He also mentioned that Salah will be departing for the Africa Cup of Nations and will return after the competition, depending on how far Egypt goes.

Slot dismissed rumors about Salah's future, saying that he wasn't the only player thanking the fans after the match. He also stated that Mo Salah will be going to the AFCON and hopes he will do well, and that in the meantime, the team will have to play without him due to the lack of available players.
