When asked before the sport if it was a difficult decision to bench Salah, Slot said: ‘The primary answer is all the time yes. But that can also be to do with Mo and all of the players I even have.
‘Each time I choose a team, it’s all the time difficult because I even have so many good players. That’s also the explanation why I exploit these players.
‘I liked the best way we ended the sport against United. Mainly the second half. Created a variety of possibilities.
‘And Ryan [Gravenberch] is out, so meaning we’ve to restructure our midfield a bit bit as well – defensively and offensively. So all along with the best way Frankfurt often plays, we decided to start out like this.
‘But as all the time, I even have players who start the sport and I even have players who can impact the sport off the bench and that’s [the case] today as well.’
