Mohamed Salah has been left out of the squad for Liverpool's Champions League match at Inter Milan.
Mohamed Salah is out of Arne Slot's squad for Liverpool's Champions League game against Inter Milan, following his stinging public criticism of the club.
The Egyptian forward's name was missing from a 19-player squad Monday as the team traveled to Italy. He had earlier seemed in good spirits at training in England.
Salah said it “seems like the club has thrown me under the bus” and he doesn't have “any relationship” with Slot after he was benched for the third game in a row Saturday.
Salah has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League during a trophy-laden eight years at Anfield. He signed a two-yearcontract extension in April just before he received his second Premier League player of the season award.
Salah is due to go to the Africa Cup of Nations this month with Egypt before the transfer window opens in January.
But his comments raise questions about his future after a disappointing start to the season for him and the club as its title defense has unraveled with just two wins in their last 10 games.
Coach Arne Slot addressed the decision to leave Salah out for the third time in a row after the draw at Leeds, saying: “We have to accept the situation we are in and I make my choices based on that.”
