“Mo (Salah) will be available tomorrow but only for a few minutes. Hopefully he can come in,” Slot told reporters ahead of Friday’s trip to Villa.

Signed from AS Roma in the summer of 2017, the No.11 established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history, helping the club to two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as an FA Community Shield.
His tally of 255 goals in 435 appearances to date has the Egyptian sitting third on the Reds’ all-time leading goalscorers chart, winning the Premier League Golden Boot on four occasions in addition to a host of personal accolades.
A victory in this fixture would all but secure fourth position ahead of their final game against Brentford due to their superior goal difference over the Villans.
