Slot praises Salah return on important night for both

-

 

Arne Slot praised Mohamed Salah’s professionalism and fitness following the winger’s return to the starting lineup in Liverpool’s 3-0 Champions League victory over Marseille on January 21, 2026.

The match served as a significant "reset" for both individuals following a turbulent period:

Key Highlights of the "Important Night"

Salah’s Resilience: After more than a month away at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and having only returned to training a day prior, Salah played the full 90 minutes. Slot remarked that being fit enough to play the entire match after such a short turnaround "says a lot about how professional he is".

Ending the Drought: This was Liverpool’s first win in a game Salah started since early November 2025.

Tactical Success: Slot utilized a 4-2-2-2 setup that allowed Salah to focus on attack by reducing his defensive burden, a move praised by former captain Steven Gerrard.

Slot’s Marseille Connection: The venue held personal significance for Slot, as it was the same stadium where he led Feyenoord to a European final in 2022.

Context of the Return

The return followed a period of tension where Salah had publicly expressed frustration with the club and manager in December 2025.

Slot’s pre-match comments emphasized Salah's historical importance, stating, :"The moments when I didn't play him, I was trying something different. We have missed goals from all the ball possession. If there's one player in the history of Liverpool that can score goals, it's Mo Salah."

The victory leaves Liverpool well-positioned to finish in the top eight of the Champions League league phase.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
