Mohamed Salah and Jamie Carragher have come to blows again - but one former Liverpool star thinks it must stopJamie Carragher has hit back at Mohamed Salah(Image: Getty Images)Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson feels a prolonged drama over Mohamed Salah's future at the club can only serve to negatively impact Arne Slot's side. Johnson's former teammate, Jamie Carragher, has also been at the heart of the debate.Salah has been left out of Liverpool's squad that will play Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.



The decision was taken after the player cast doubt over his future at the club last weekend, feeling his relationship with Slot has broken down.During his interview the Egyptian also gave direct mention to Sky Sports pundit and former Reds vice-captain Carragher, who hit back by calling the 33-year-old 'a disgrace'.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah's close friend in 'behind closed doors' outburst that says a lot – 'Injustice'READ MORE: Arne Slot new comments on Mohamed Salah speak volumes as boss pressed on Liverpool returnIt is the latest in a historical line of passionate exchanges between the pair, however Johnson believes this feud must come to a standstill for the good of Liverpool.Speaking exclusively to the ECHO, Johnson said: "Well, warranted, if people are going to have outbursts that affect a lot of people, then you're going to have to put on your crash helmet on and be ready for other people to have their say. So I think it's more hurting personally than it is to people just want to jump in and stick their boot in."Johnson continued by suggesting Salah has handled this situation incorrectly, and it all should have been fixed internally away from the watching world.“I don't think anything like that [disputes] should be done publicly," the former England international stated."Whatever goes on between the pros and the staff and everyone in the dressing room, speak freely, say whatever you want, have a bust up in the dressing room, but you walk out as teammates."You know, you say what you think you need to say and people will have their chance to retaliate and then you dust off and go again."It's almost like when it goes out publicly, it's almost like the last resort.

Ultimately there's, you know, there's other teammates involved and this is at the minute this is the only thing people are talking about."When that's not helping these teammates, it's not helping the club, it's not helping the form of the team for sure. I don't like it when it's done this way in the public."For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc.
