Mohamed Salah is out of the starting lineup against West Ham

Fans of the English club Liverpool were surprised by the presence of their Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah, on the bench, in the team’s match against West Ham, which was held today, Sunday, in the 13th round of the English Premier League competition.

Coach Arnie Sloat’s decision to keep Salah on the bench comes at a time when the Egyptian international is facing a torrent of criticism against the backdrop of a decline in his performance during the recent period, which many Reds fans see as the main reason for the team’s lack of victories.

The last time Mohamed Salah sat on the bench with Liverpool in the English Premier League was when he faced the same team in the 35th round of the 2023-2024 season, which was on April 27, 2024, that is, approximately 582 days ago, according to Egyptian media.
