Overview
- Salah has been benched for three straight Premier League matches and did not play at all in Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Leeds.
- He told broadcasters he feels the club has "dumped" him, said "we no longer have any relationship" with manager Arne Slot, and claimed summer promises were not kept.
- Reports say Liverpool are angered by the outburst, with some internal voices linking his April two-year renewal to squad tensions, while former striker Michael Owen criticized Salah’s comments.
- Slot is expected to decide today whether Salah will travel to Milan for the Champions League tie against Inter, with multiple outlets casting doubt on his involvement.
- Salah is due to join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations around December 15, and renewed speculation points to possible Saudi interest, including Al-Hilal.
