Mohamed Salah has been benched again by Arne Slot, raising questions over his long-term Liverpool future.

The Egyptian talisman was left watching on from the sidelines as the Reds got back to winning ways at West Ham on Sunday, with Slot opting to bench Salah in the Premier League for the first time since April 2024.

And having avoided a 10th loss in 13 at the London Stadium, Slot has opted to stick by the winning formula and leave Salah among the substitutes for Liverpool’s midweek visit of Sunderland.

It’s the first time Salah has been benched in back-to-back league games since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017.
