Salah, 33, was left out of Liverpool’s squad to face Inter Milan in the Champions League due to his recent explosive interview.
After their 3-3 Premier League draw with Leeds, in which Salah was benched, he said that he believed he had been ‘thrown under the bus.’
Recalled for the game against Brighton, Salah provided the assist for Hugo Ekitike’s second goal as Liverpool secured all three points.
When asked about his choice to recall Salah after the game, Slot admitted it was an ‘easy decision’.
"I think he was a threat,” he said.
“The first ball he touched, he almost made an assist for Mac Allister. He was constantly involved in the fact we had Mo. Pleasing to see but not a surprise.
"It was an easy decision to put him in the squad. I have said many times before what has been said between us will stay between us. We needed him and he assisted to the 2-0 which is nice for us. We have been so many times this season on the wrong side of the set-piece battle.
"He goes to the Afcon and that means for us another player down. This is what we knew before the season started. Hopefully one or two players can come back from injury."
