Carragher: Don’t forget that Salah is 33 years old. He shouldn’t play continuously if he’s not in top form.

On October 23, in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool defeated Frankfurt 5-1. In this game, Sloter put Salah on the bench. So far this season, Salah's performance has not reached his previous high level. He has only scored 3 goals and contributed 3 assists in 12 appearances in all competitions.

In this regard, Carragher said: "The result of the game remains to be seen, but I think that when Salah is not a 'legendary Salah', he should be treated like other players, which is correct. And don't forget that he is 33 years old, and Liverpool will play 3 games in 6 days."

"So if he's not at his best at the moment, he shouldn't be playing consecutive games because there are other options. We know Liverpool have invested a lot of money and have a big game on Sunday (against Brentford), so it's a good decision."
