LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Mohamed Salah has been left out of Liverpool’s starting lineup for the second straight Premier League match by manager Arne Slot.

Salah was named on the bench for the home game against Sunderland on Wednesday.

On Sunday, the Egypt winger was an unused substitute in Liverpool’s 2-0 win at West Ham. That marked the first time Salah hadn’t started a league game under Slot, who took charge in the offseason of 2024 and won the title in his first season — chiefly thanks to the goals of Salah.

Slot acknowledged Salah was unhappy at being dropped last weekend but that he “handled himself really well” and was a “top professional.”
