Mohamed Salah and Rio Ngumoha have both been named to Liverpool’s starting lineup as they face Fulham in the Premier League.
Salah, who will leave Anfield this summer after an illustrious nine years, was again dropped to the bench for Wednesday night’s 2-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg match and did not come on.

However, whereas the initial dropping of Salah back in December made significant headlines, this time the focus was much more on the under-fire Slot’s decision to switch to a back five against PSG - a choice that ultimately backfired during an abject display as his side were totally dominated, had only 26 per cent possession and failed to register a single shot on target at the Parc des Princes.
Slot will surely swiftly abandon that experiment at home to Fulham on Saturday as Liverpool desperately try and avoid a fourth successive defeat across all competitions and jump-start their bid for a top-five finish this season, having lost 2-1 at Brighton on their last top-flight outing before the recent international break.
With first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker still injured, Giorgi Mamardashvili will deputise again having made a series of top saves to keep Liverpool just about alive in their last-eight tie against holders PSG.
Frimpong and Milos Kerkez played as wing-backs in Paris, and the former reverts to full-back here. Andy Robertson takes up the opposite flank.
Gomez is named to the bench, while Ibrahima Konate returns despite coming in for more criticism on Wednesday.
Alexander Isak made his return from injury off the bench against PSG, but was barely involved and is among the substitutes again here.
Along with Alisson, long-term absentees Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni all remain sidelined.
