A sanction for Mohamed Salah. According to information from RMC Sport, the Egyptian superstar, although present at the Reds’ training today, will not be included in the Liverpool squad for the clash at Inter Milan this Tuesday in the Champions League. This strong choice from Arne Slot comes two days after the player’s public and inflammatory statements complaining about having been left on the bench during the Reds’ draw at Leeds (3-3), Saturday in the Premier League.
Three times substitute in the last three matches
Extended last summer after a long series on the continuation of his adventure with the English champion, Mohamed Salah is having a hard time with this downgrade after being placed on the bench during the last three championship matches. Before Leeds, he did not come into play against West Ham on November 30, before only being started in the second half against Sunderland (1-1). However, the player does not feel like “the problem” in the current bad situation of Hugo Ekitike’s teammates.
“I feel like the club has let me down,” he said.
“That’s really how I feel. I think it’s obvious that someone wanted to put all the blame on me. I was made a lot of promises this summer and at the moment I’ve been on the bench for three games, so I can’t say they kept their promises. I said several times that I had a good relationship with the coach and suddenly we have no relationship. I don’t know why, but it seems to me that someone doesn’t want me at the club. It’s unacceptable for me. I don’t understand why this is happening to me.”
He leaves doubt about his future
The Reds legend, at the club since 2017, is going through a complicated season with only five goals and three assists in 19 games. “I have done so much for this club,” he lamented. “Respect is what I want to get. I don’t need to fight every day to keep my place, because I’ve earned it. I’m not better than the others, but I’ve earned my place. That’s football. That’s how it is. After everything I’ve done for the club, it really hurts. You can imagine it, really.”
Mohamed Salah concluded his long diatribe by describing his future as very uncertain on the banks of the Mersey as he will soon fly off to play in the African Cup of Nations, after the match against Brighton on December 16. “I called my mother this Friday. You (the journalists, Editor’s note) didn’t know if I was going to be the starter [contre Leeds] or not, but I knew it,” he added. “I told him to come to the game against Brighton. I don’t know if I’m going to play or not, but I’m going to enjoy it. In my head, I’m going to enjoy this match because I don’t know what’s going to happen now. I will be at Anfield to say goodbye to the fans and leave for the African Cup. I don’t know what’s going to happen when I’m there.” His comments were strongly criticized by followers and former stars of the club who criticized him in particular for focusing on his personal situation in the heart of a major crisis in the team’s results.
