Slot made four modifications to his basic squad that lost to Crystal Palace (1-2) last Saturday in the English Premier League, where Salah sat next to striker Alexander Issak, midfielder Alex Mac Alester and right-back Connor Bradley, on the bench to replace Jeremy Frimbong, Hugo Iteteke, Cortis Jones, and Kodi Gaccob in the starting lineup.

Slot indicated before the start of the confrontation of Galatasaray that Frimbong will not play in his natural position as a right back, but rather will take over the right wing instead of Salah, while midfielder Dominic Subosli will take over the tasks of the right -back.

“Jeremy will not play as a right back, but as a right winger. We have many upcoming matches, and within a few days another big match is waiting for us,” Salimi said in remarks.

He continued, “We have to benefit from our entire squad. The benefit does not always mean that the players start from the beginning, as our players often influence the course of the match after entering the bench.”

“Remember that Salah scored a trilogy in a previous match against Rangers after he entered an alternative. The Rangers coach at the time was my current assistant, Gio Van Bronchist! But this is not the reason for keeping Salah on the bench in today’s meeting, but the reason is simply that we have excellent options.”

Salt also explained that the club is dealing with caution with both Isac and Mac Alayters due to disturbances in their preparations for the season, as they did not participate adequately in the preparatory camp.

The first half ended from the Liverpool and Galatasaray match with the Turkish team’s progress with a clean goal scored by the Nigerian striker from a penalty kick in the 16th minute.
