Sloat praises Mohamed Salah’s reaction after he was excluded from the starting lineup against Sunderland
Arne Sloat, Liverpool coach, praised the professional manner in which Mohamed Salah dealt after sitting on the bench in the ongoing Sunderland match at Anfield, in the fourteenth round of the English Premier League season 2025-2026.
Slot: Salah is a role model on and off the field
Sloat said in television statements that all the team’s players have a chance to participate, stressing that Salah remains one of the most important elements within Liverpool’s formation. He added:
“Having a player like Mohamed Salah on the bench is important. We talked a lot after the Frankfurt match, and now things are clear. He is a professional player of the highest caliber.”
The technical director explained that Salah trains seriously and shows great support for his teammates, noting that he is “a role model when he participates, and also a role model in how he deals when he is not in the starting lineup.”
This is the second match in a row in which Salah starts from the bench, in an unusual move for the Egyptian star, who rarely missed the starting lineup during his career with Liverpool.
The team achieved an important victory in the last round over West Ham with two unanswered goals, while it enters the match against Sunderland with the aim of enhancing the chances of competing for the title.
Newly promoted to the English Premier League, Sunderland, has performed surprisingly well this season, placing it ahead of Liverpool in the standings, as it occupies sixth place with 22 points, one point behind Liverpool, which is in eighth place.
Doubts are growing about Salah’s return to the starting lineup, especially after the criticism he recently faced due to a decline in his scoring rate.
Salah’s sitting on the bench in the previous match ended a distinguished series of his starting appearances in the English Premier League, which reached 53 consecutive matches, and he found himself facing a great challenge to regain his place amid the brilliance of new signings such as Isak, Wirtz and Ateki.
