Salah & Henderson: Instagram Exchange

Mohamed Salah made himself heard on Instagram on Tuesday morning. The 33-year-old Egyptian, who did not travel to Tuesday evening’s Champions League match against Inter as a punishment, posted a photo from the gym at Liverpool’s training complex. Jordan Henderson responds immediately.

Salah dropped a bomb this weekend the Reds by lashing out at Liverpool and Arne Slot in an interview after the away match against Leeds United (3-3). The star indicated that he felt like he had been thrown under the bus and said that the relationship with the trainer has seriously deteriorated. Slot responded by leaving Salah at home for the match against Inter.

The Egyptian is therefore alone in Liverpool on Tuesday morning. Salah posts a photo from the gym at the training complex. Henderson, who played with the superstar for years, liked the post and responded with a red heart. Slot spoke out about the situation in Milan on Monday evening. “Whether he has already played his last game for Liverpool? I have no idea. I can’t answer that now.”

The manager had not spoken to Salah about the explosive interview. “We didn’t talk about those words. I am calm and polite, but not weak. When a player says things like that, it is up to us to respond and we did that. He is not there. Mohamed has the right to feel what he wants to feel, but not the right to share it. He did and then it is up to us to respond.”
