Mohamed Salah trained with Liverpool's first team on Monday morning ahead of the squad's flight to Milan for their Champions League match against Inter Milan, despite recent reports of a breakdown in his relationship with head coach Arne Slot. Salah appeared on the training pitch alongside newcomer Hugo Ekitike and was warmly greeted by teammate Dominic Szoboszlai. However, sources told ESPN that it was still undecided whether Salah would travel with the team to Italy later that day.



The 33-year-old forward stirred uncertainty about his Liverpool future after an explosive post-match interview following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United, in which he criticized his role under manager Slot. Salah has been left out of the starting lineup in recent fixtures, including being an unused substitute in matches against West Ham, Sunderland, and Leeds.

Currently, Salah has scored only four goals in 13 Premier League appearances this season, marking his least productive period since joining Liverpool in 2017. Despite this dip in form, he remains a critical player, having scored 29 league goals last season to help Liverpool secure the Premier League title and earning multiple individual awards.

Although Salah signed a lucrative two-year contract extension less than two years ago, Liverpool could be compelled to consider his transfer in January if tensions with the coaching staff persist. His travel plans remain unclear as the club navigates this period of uncertainty amidst an already challenging season.
