Mo Salah has shared an update of sorts on social media, posting a photo of himself in Liverpool while the rest of the team are in Milan.

Why Mo Salah was left out of Liverpool squad Despite training with the team on Monday, Salah was left out of Liverpool’s travelling squad to play Inter in the Champions League. While Slot remained relatively tight-lipped about the situation in his press conference, he offered an insight to the club’s strong reaction, telling Prime Video: “Everybody can have his opinion and use his own words about what he thinks about the situation, but it’s also up to us to react to that if a player uses words we cannot accept.” Clearly, Liverpool were not pleased with the interview given by Salah as the decision to keep him on Merseyside this week was “taken by sporting director Richard Hughes in conjunction with the club’s ownership and Slot,” according to Athletic journalist David Ornstein.

“It’s described as being a short-term measure, so it’s plausible he could come back into the frame for selection against Brighton… “This was a decision taken by the club, not by Arne Slot.” Liverpool squad reaction to Mo Salah’s interview Salah’s interview has the potential to put his teammates in an awkward position as they respect both the player and coach Slot. “We know the challenges we are facing at this moment, not performing well, not having good results, that’s been difficult enough for us.
