The 33-year-old also boasts a brilliant record against Brighton. In 20 career appearances against the Seagulls, Salah has scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists.
Speaking at hispre-match press conference, Slot said Salah will also be unavailable for Egypt during the upcoming international break.
“It’s unusual [for him to ask to come off]. As a result, you can expect the outcome that he is not available for tomorrow.
“The good thing for us [Liverpool] that we go into an international break, but the bad thing for him is that he can’t go, but we are hoping that Mo can recover.
"He’s shown in the past that he does that faster than other players. He takes such good care of his body. It’s only two weeks until we are back again, we can hope in that period of time he can be back.”
Slot also provided an update on Joe Gomez, who returned to the Liverpool bench at midweek. However, the Dutchman said the club are keen to take a patient approach with the defender's return.
"Joe was on the bench [against Galatasaray] but he was unable to come in.
"We tried to postpone it as far as we could, he had already told me before the game that he didn’t feel good. So I said okay, let’s wait until half-time, maybe a miracle might happen, we might need you in extra time, so he might be available for tomorrow, but definitely not to start.”
