When asked about when Salah would leave for Egypt, Slot replied that he would go on December 15, citing FIFA's ruling that players must be released by this date. He emphasized that there is a communication process between the player, the club, and the country, which is in line with FIFA's guidelines.

Slot also discussed the decision to withdraw Salah from the frontline, stating that all players, including superstars like Salah, have off days where they are human and not at their best. He expressed confidence in Salah's ability to score goals for the team in the future.

Regarding the upcoming match against Sunderland, Slot admitted that his selection will be influenced by the fitness of the players who played against West Ham. He mentioned that Florian Wirtz, who missed one and a half to two weeks of training, played well despite his limited preparation, and that Alex Isak's first goal was a positive sign.

Slot expects a competitive match against Sunderland, which has been performing well in the Premier League. He praised Sunderland's manager and the team's resilience, highlighting their ability to press high up the pitch and defend with all 11 players when necessary. He emphasized that Sunderland's hard work and clear identity make them a difficult team to play against.

Finally, Slot was asked about a report showing that he was the most abused manager on social media in the Premier League. He downplayed the issue, stating that he is not a social media person and that the support he receives from the fans in the stadium is what matters most to him.
