Outside Anfield, the stadium and museum tours went on, elements of business as usual.
Five miles up the road in Kirkby, it was a recovery day for the players at the AXA Training Centre – the venue where Slot told Salah in a meeting on Friday that he would not be starting.
On Monday, Liverpool will train there before heading to Milan for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Inter.
The first question is whether Salah will be at training and, if he is, whether he makes the travelling squad that will then fly from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Milan Malpensa.
On the streets surrounding Anfield which are filled with murals of legends past and present, there is one paying tribute to Salah, featuring two of his iconic celebrations.
It’s hard to fathom that the ‘Egyptian King’ may never celebrate a goal for Liverpool again.
He is third on Liverpool’s all-time list of goalscorers with 250, behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
Salah insisted to reporters at Elland Road that he would say goodbye to the fans at Anfield on Saturday when Liverpool welcome Brighton.
But right now, that remains up in the air.
He is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations on Monday 15 December, with Egypt’s first game a week later.
There is a lot to sort out over the next week before that departure date.
As one fan kindly told us when asked if he would speak about the Salah situation: “No, I’ve had plenty of nightmares already.”
