"Mohamed Salah's bombshell interview after Liverpool's draw at Leeds United last Saturday caused an issue Arne Slot really could have done without. The Reds boss was already under heavy scrutiny following a patchy run of form that has left their Premier League title defence in tatters, and Leeds' stoppage-time equaliser to snatch a 3-3 draw raised further questions of Slot and his faltering side."
"The fallout from the Reds star's explosive interview has dominated the headlines over the past few days, with Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher weighing in on Monday Night Football. Slot then left Salah out of his squad for Tuesday's Champions League victory over Inter Milan, claiming that the Egyptian's comments - which included the claim that he no longer has 'any relationship' with the Dutchman - had 'affected many people at the club'."
"There is now major uncertainty around the 33-year-old's future, complicated by the fact that he is set to leave next week for the Africa Cup of Nations - where he will captain Egypt - which starts on December 21. It means time is of the essence for Liverpool and Slot, with the Mirror reporting on Thursday morning that the manager is set to hold crunch talks with Salah 'in the next 48 hours' to decide his future."
Mohamed Salah gave a bombshell interview after Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Leeds, claiming he was being made a scapegoat and had been 'thrown under the bus' by the club. The manager, Arne Slot, faced heavy scrutiny after a patchy run of form and left Salah on the bench for three successive matches, later omitting him from the squad against Inter Milan. Slot said Salah's comments — including that he no longer has 'any relationship' with the Dutchman — had 'affected many people at the club'. Major uncertainty surrounds the 33-year-old as he prepares to captain Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations starting December 21, and Slot is reportedly set to hold crunch talks with Salah within 48 hours to decide next steps.
