Liverpool Travel to Marseille with Salah

Egyptian international forward Mohamed Salah, returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, is among the 20 players selected for Liverpool's away Champions League match against Marseille at the Velodrome. However, French defender Ibrahima Konaté will not travel to Marseille for personal reasons, unrelated to any injury. Konaté's absence confirms Salah's good condition, as he had lost his starting position before participating in the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah had publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with his demotion in the team and hinted that he was considering leaving Liverpool. His inclusion in the squad shows that coach Arne Slot counts on him for the match against Marseille.
