Liverpool Coach Welcomes Salah's Return
Liverpool's coach, Arne Slot, is happy that Mohamed Salah is coming back to the team after playing for Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Even though they had a disagreement recently, Slot says Salah is an important player.
The team has been doing well, not losing any matches in their last 11 games, but they have tied five times in the league.
This has put them in fourth place, far behind the leaders.
Slot also praised Andy Robertson, a defender who has been playing less but is still important to the team.
The coach wants the team to keep improving and aims for more wins.
