Overview
- Liverpool confirmed Salah was not selected to travel to Milan for Tuesday's Champions League match against Inter.
- Reporting indicates the decision involved sporting leadership support for Arne Slot and is not viewed internally as punitive or a prelude to a transfer.
- Slot said he has no idea about Salah’s long‑term future and argued the forward should not air grievances in the media.
- Salah trained with teammates on Monday morning before being told he would not travel, days after criticizing the club following three straight games on the bench.
- The fallout comes during a poor run with Liverpool winless in recent league matches and on nine points after five Champions League games, currently outside the direct qualification cutoff.
