The Digest:
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will miss Saturday's Premier League trip to Brighton with a muscle injury sustained during Wednesday's 4-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the 33-year-old is unavailable but gave no timeframe for recovery, though the international break may aid his return. Liverpool sits fifth in the Premier League, two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification.
Key Points:
- Salah's absence deals a significant blow to Liverpool's top-four hopes with nine league games left.
- The injury rules him out of Egypt's upcoming international fixtures.
- Liverpool face Man City in the FA Cup and PSG in the Champions League next month.
- Slot admitted his side is "struggling to score goals" despite creating chances.
Liverpool must find attacking solutions without their star forward as they chase Champions League qualification.
