Overview
- The 33-year-old was unused in Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Leeds, marking his third consecutive match on the bench.
- He told reporters he had been "thrown under the bus," alleged scapegoating, and said he no longer has a relationship with Arne Slot.
- He suggested next weekend’s home match against Brighton could be a goodbye before he leaves to join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Slot defended the call as a tactical decision to control the game, saying Liverpool "needed different players" rather than goals at that stage.
- English media report Saudi Pro League clubs believe they can lure him in January, while Salah, who signed a two-year extension in April, has five goals and three assists in 19 games this season after a 34-goal, 18-assist campaign last year.
