Ahead of the 13th round Premier League fixture between West Ham United and Liverpool, the starting lineup was announced—Mohamed Salah was named on the bench.
In a pre-match interview with Camel Live, Liverpool manager Arne Slot discussed the decision: “We have 4 games in 10 days. Sometimes Isak is on the bench, sometimes Wirtz. These are the 11 players I chose today. It was never an easy decision, and it’s not the first time I’ve made such a call.”
