Pre-match press conference with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot ahead of Inter Milan v Liverpool in the Champions League at San Siro.

Slot faces around ten straight minutes of questions about Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian claimed he had been โ€œthrown under the busโ€ and said his relationship with Slot had broken. Slot confirms Salah has not travelled to Milan, explains there has been no detailed conversation since the comments were made, and says he does not know who Salah was referring to but insists the club must react when a player speaks publicly.

Slot stresses that being calm and polite does not mean he is weak, says Salah has every right to feel what he feels but not to share it with the media, and admits he was surprised by the timing because Salah had trained well and behaved respectfully. He adds Liverpool will reassess the situation after the Inter match and believes there is always a possibility for a player to return to the squad.

Slot reveals Federico Chiesa is ill and unlikely to travel unless he makes an unexpected recovery, while Cody Gakpo is out for a few weeks after a fresh injury picked up against Leeds. He warns Liverpool are facing a strong Inter side with big Champions League pedigree, praising their discipline, experience and quality under Cristian Chivu.

00:00No, that's not the way I feel, but he has the right to feel how he feels things.
00:09I haven't felt that at all till Saturday evening for sure,
00:14because I think when I didn't play him anymore,
00:20usually players don't like the manager then that much,
00:23but he was very respectful to my staff members, to his teammates,
00:28and he trained really hard.
00:31So to an extent, it was a surprise for me that when I heard after the game
00:37that he gave the commands he gave.
00:40But as I said, it's not the first and not the last time that when a player doesn't play,
00:45I'm not sure if he was emotional or not, but that he says something similar to what he did.
00:55But I think my reaction to that is also clear, and that he's not here with us tonight.
01:02Usually I'm calm and polite, but that doesn't mean I'm weak.
01:06So if a player says, have these commands about so many things,
01:11then it's about me, us as a club to react, and we reacted in a way you can see now that he's not here.
01:18Then I should find out exactly why he said what he said.
01:25But then I have to guess a little bit.
01:28If that's not only because he doesn't play,
01:31then the answer to your question could be just play him every single time.
01:34But maybe that's not the reason why he said what he said.
01:36Maybe there's something else why he has this opinion.
01:40But if it is, but that I don't know.
01:43Is it about me not playing him?
01:44Yeah, then the answer could be what could I have done differently playing him.
01:47But maybe that's not the reason why he thinks and feels this way.
01:53And he has every right to feel what he feels,
01:55but he doesn't have the right to share it with the media.
01:59He has that right, but then it's up to us to react on it.
