"Tensions between Arne Slot and Mohamed Salah boiled over on Saturday. Salah has been benched for three straight matches, and the Egyptian gave a hostile post-match interview after Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Leeds. The club legend stated that he felt the club had "thrown me under the bus" and that his relationship with Slot had "broken down." In response, Liverpool have today announced that they will exclude him from the squad travelling to face Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday."
"He Feels as if he is being scapegoated. Salah claims that despite his long service and contributions, he is being made a symbol of Liverpool's struggles. As he put it, he's been "thrown under the bus." Another aspect of the interview was the apparent lack of clarity from his manager. After consistently starting for years, the sudden shift to the bench, three games in a row, has left him confused, especially with no clear explanation about why."
Mohamed Salah has been benched for three consecutive matches and gave a hostile post-match interview after Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Leeds. He said he felt the club had "thrown me under the bus" and that his relationship with Arne Slot had "broken down." Liverpool excluded him from the squad travelling to face Inter Milan in the Champions League. Slot said he was "surprised" by Salah's comments, denied feeling undermined and said he had "no clue" if Salah had played his last game at Anfield. Salah says he feels scapegoated, confused by the sudden benching, and alienated by poor communication. He previously spoke out last season over stalled contract talks, and there are murmurs that some teammates may support his stance, which could escalate tensions.
