Salah has also changed the profile picture from him in a Liverpool shirt holding the Premier League trophy to one where he is with his two children on a beach.
When asked before the game if it was a difficult decision to bench Salah, Slot said: ‘The first answer is always yes. But that is also to do with Mo and all the players I have.
‘Every time I select a team, it’s always difficult because I have so many good players. That’s also the reason why I use these players.
‘I liked the way we ended the game against United. Mainly the second half. Created a lot of chances.
‘And Ryan [Gravenberch] is out, so that means we have to restructure our midfield a little bit as well – defensively and offensively. So all together with the way Frankfurt usually plays, we decided to start like this.
‘But as always, I have players who start the game and I have players who can impact the game off the bench and that is [the case] today as well.’
