Mohamed Salah recently stated that his relationship with Liverpool is ‘broken,’ prompting a strong response from manager Arne Slot. He expressed surprise at Salah’s comments after the player was benched for three consecutive matches.
Ahead of the Champions League match against Inter Milan, Slot confirmed that Salah will not travel with the team to Italy. He noted this was a clear club response while adding that Salah has conducted himself appropriately and professionally in training. Slot emphasized that Salah has the right to express his feelings, but clarified that this decision does not indicate any weakness in leadership. This has raised questions among fans about the potential for reconciliation between the two.
Regarding whether Salah has played his last match for the Reds, Slot stated he is unsure. However, he believes there is a chance for players to return to the team, hinting that a review will take place after the Milan match. In a post-match interview following the Leeds game, Salah claimed he felt the club had ‘disrespected’ him.
