Salah Says Liverpool 'Threw Him Under the Bus' as Rift With Slot Goes Public

Slot calls the benching tactical, putting pressure on the club to respond.

Overview

  • Mohamed Salah was an unused substitute for a third straight match in Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Leeds and said he feels scapegoated by the club.
  • The forward said his relationship with manager Arne Slot has collapsed and claimed summer promises about his role were not kept.
  • Salah suggested next weekend’s Brighton game at Anfield could be a farewell before he departs to join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Arne Slot defended his selection by saying Liverpool needed different players to control the game, describing the decision as tactical.
  • Media reports continue to link Saudi Pro League clubs with a January move for Salah, though there is no formal resolution or agreement.
