Overview
- Liverpool left Mohamed Salah out of the Champions League squad to face Inter Milan, with Arne Slot saying the omission was his response to the player’s recent comments.
- Salah shared his first public post since the fallout, a photo of himself training alone at the club facility, which drew likes from current and former teammates and a supportive message from Dejan Lovren.
- Salah has begun three straight games on the bench and was an unused substitute in the 3-3 draw at Leeds where he delivered his critical remarks.
- Jamie Carragher criticised Salah’s media appearance, calling it a disgrace and suggesting the interview was choreographed to strengthen his position.
- He is unlikely to feature against Brighton before joining Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations, which could keep him out for Liverpool until mid-January.
