Mohamed Salah will make his comeback before the 2025/26 Premier League season wraps up, manager Arne Slot confirmed Friday, but the Egyptian star won’t feature in Sunday’s high-stakes showdown against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Slot’s update dashes hopes of Salah’s involvement in the Merseyside rivals’ clash, where the forward boasts an impressive record of goals and assists against United.

United supporters celebrating the absence as a boost, while Liverpool fans lament the timing.
