The Digest:
Liverpool has omitted Mohamed Salah from their squad for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Inter Milan, two days after he claimed the club “threw him under the bus.” Rooted in the storm of player-manager tension, Salah avoided disciplinary action but will miss the game as his future at Anfield remains uncertain.
Key Points
- Salah gave a bombshell interview after Saturday’s 3–3 draw with Leeds, criticizing the club and manager Arne Slot.
- He claimed he has no relationship with Slot and suggested the Brighton game could be his Anfield farewell.
- Liverpool decided to leave him out of the Inter Milan trip “in the best interests of everyone.”
- Manager Arne Slot confirmed the decision in a brief pre-match press conference.
- Salah has 18 months left on his contract and earns around £400,000 per week.
- He is expected to join Egypt for AFCON on December 15 after Liverpool’s match against Brighton.
- Saudi Arabian clubs have shown past interest, but a January move is considered complicated financially.
As Salah trains alone and Liverpool prepares without him, a rift that began on the bench has spilled into headlines, reminding everyone that in football, sometimes the loudest storms are spoken, not played.
