Liverpool’s training session at the AXA Training Centre on Monday morning offered fans a glimpse of the squad ahead of their crucial Champions League encounter with Inter Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday. Mohamed Salah made a notable return to group training, surprising many after reports claimed he had been left out of the travelling squad entirely, leaving questions about his immediate future with the club.
The Egyptian forward’s involvement in Monday’s session appears to be part of a carefully managed reintegration following his recent public criticism of Liverpool and manager Arne Slot after Saturday’s dramatic 3-3 draw against Leeds United. Salah’s situation continues to generate intense speculation, with supporters and pundits alike debating whether he will feature in Milan.
While Salah trained with the team, several players were absent, raising further uncertainty over the lineup. Wataru Endo, Federico Chiesa, and Jeremie Frimpong did not participate in the session. Frimpong remains sidelined as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury, and young centre-back Giovanni Leoni is still out with an ACL tear. The reasons behind Endo and Chiesa’s absence were not confirmed, leaving their availability for the Inter clash in doubt.
As Liverpool prepare for a high-stakes match in Italy, fans are closely watching the squad dynamics, particularly in light of Salah’s turbulent week and the continued absence of key players. Manager Arne Slot faces tough decisions as he looks to navigate the squad through both the controversy and the challenge of a crucial European fixture
