Arne Slot explains surprise Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak Liverpool decision vs Galatasaray
Arne Slot has explained his decision to bench Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak for Liverpool's Champions League trip to Galatasaray. The Dutchman made four to his side for the trip to Turkey following on from Saturday's defeat to Crystal Palace.
The Italy international was a particularly notable absentee from Liverpool’s travelling squad given his strong run of form. Reports immediately after the list was revealed claimed that Chiesa had been overlooked by Slot as a consequence of a “selection decision” rather than an injury.
