"He apologised to us and was like: 'If I've affected anybody or made you feel any sort of way, I apologise.' 'That's the man that he is. 'I can only speak from me knowing Mo, and how he is with us, and how he acted on that. 'He was positive as well. He was the exact same Mo, he had a big smile on his face and everybody was exactly the same with him."
"I get that there are certain ways you can go about things. But if a lad's fine to just be on the bench and he doesn't want to play and help the team, then I think that's more of an issue. When there's been any sort of anger from us, including myself, it's always been from a good place. In the moment, it might not have come out in the right way."
Mohamed Salah apologised to his Liverpool teammates after a frustrated mixed-zone interview that led to him being dropped from Arne Slot's squad. Curtis Jones described Salah's apology and said Salah told teammates, 'If I've affected anybody...' and showed a positive, smiling demeanour. Jones framed the reaction as part of a drive to win and said any anger from players comes from a good place. Slot has moved past the incident. Salah travelled to the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt and is unavailable for the upcoming trip to Tottenham. The squad is reported to be gelling and returning to winning form.
