"He's [Salah] obviously really upset he's not playing, which I respect. A couple of lines about throwing people under the bus - wrong. [You] need to reverse a little bit away from that, to deal with that with the manager. This needs Virgil van Dijk to go, 'How are we sorting this out for the benefit of not the club, or the team, but the fans?'"
"I've seen this and I've lived it with Suarez when he fell out with Brendan face to face. I've been there and done it myself. We've all had head losses as players. We've all done emotional things. And I know in time when this all calms Mo will go, 'I shouldn't have said that, I maybe shouldn't have said that, I was a bit emotional, I was a bit hasty.'"
Mohamed Salah was an unused substitute in Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United and said he felt he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club. Salah also stated he had no relationship with manager Arne Slot. Slot left Salah out of the squad for the Champions League fixture against Inter, which Liverpool won via a late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty. Salah will join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations after the Brighton game. Reports link Saudi Pro League interest if Salah seeks a January move. Steven Gerrard urged Salah to retract his comments, compared the situation to Luis Suarez's 2013 fallout with Brendan Rodgers, and called for senior players such as Virgil van Dijk to help mediate and restore relations for the benefit of fans and the team.
