Salah's Surprising Omission from Liverpool's Squad Sparks Controversy

Mohamed Salah's absence from Liverpool's squad against Inter Milan has stirred controversy. Coach Arne Slot confirmed Salah's exclusion was communicated with minimal interaction. Salah's recent public criticism of the club and Slot indicates friction, yet Slot remains open to future reconciliation.

In a surprising twist, Mohamed Salah was left out of Liverpool's squad for their Champions League clash against Inter Milan. Liverpool coach Arne Slot confirmed that communication with Salah was limited to informing him of his exclusion.

Salah's omission follows his public criticism of the club, stating he felt thrown under the bus after being benched for three consecutive games. Despite his sentiments, Slot, during a pre-match press conference, expressed surprise at Salah's reaction, noting that Salah had shown respect to staff and teammates during training.

While Salah has achieved significant success at Liverpool, Slot's comments hint at possible reconciliation, emphasizing that a player's return is always possible. Salah is set to join Egypt in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations before the transfer window opens.
