Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard maintains Mohamed Salah will regret his “emotional” rant against the club and manager Arne Slot.Salah’s extraordinary outburst has ignited an already volatile situation at Anfield following a torrid run of form, but the Reds responded with a 1-0 victory at Inter Milan after banishing the Egypt international from the squad this week.While Gerrard also sympathised with Salah and what he described as a “head-loss,” which has attracted widespread criticism from fans and fellow legend Jamie Carragher to label his behaviour “a disgrace”.“I think they are closer to [a crisis],” Gerrard admitted on TNT Sports’ The Breakdown.

I know in time when this all calms down that Mo will think that I shouldn’t have said that, I was a bit emotional, I was a bit hasty.”Gerrard also urged the Reds to reintegrate Salah into the squad following the African Cup of Nations.
