- Liverpool FC is lagging behind its own expectations this season.
- There has now also been a rift between superstar Mo Salah and coach Arne Slot.
- After the Egyptian gave vent to his displeasure in an interview, he was dropped from the squad for the Champions League match against Inter Milan.
The recently spurned star striker Mohamed Salah has sparked a row at Liverpool FC and hinted at his departure. "Someone wants me to take all the blame. The club promised me a lot in the summer. Now I'm on the bench, so I can say they haven't kept that promise," said the 33-year-old Egyptian. Salah was not in the starting eleven for the third game in a row in the crisis-hit Reds' 3-3 Premier League draw at Leeds United and was also not substituted.
"I had a good relationship with the coach. But all of a sudden we no longer have a relationship. And I don't know why. Apparently someone doesn't want me at the club anymore," the 2019 Champions League winner complained about Liverpool's Dutch head coach Arne Slot.
"I don't think I'm the problem"
Salah has been playing under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool since 2017 and until 2024. The situation is "not acceptable" for him and he feels as if he has been "thrown under the bus. I don't think I'm the problem. I've done so much for the club." Salah also referred to the previous championship season, when he was top scorer with 29 goals.
Liverpool have now responded to the offensive statements. The Egyptian is not in the squad for the Champions League game at Inter (Tuesday, 9pm live on blue Sport). LFC have not officially given any reasons for this.
Salah's contract still runs until 2027, but a departure is more likely than ever.
