After Mohamed Salah recently asserted that his relationship with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has broken down, the Reds have allegedly arrived at an unanimous decision on how to proceed. They have allegedly picked a side, infuriating a number of Reds fans.
But, who between Salah and Slot received the Premier League champions’ backing?
Liverpool Decide To Axe Mohamed Salah From Next Matchday Squad
Earlier on Saturday, Dec. 6, Salah was benched for the third consecutive time in the Premier League by Slot. The 33-year-old watched from the sidelines as the Reds registered a shock 3-3 away league draw at Leeds United’s Elland Road.
Now, as per reputed journalist David Ornstein, Salah has been left out of Liverpool’s squad for their UEFA Champions League match at Inter Milan on Tuesday, Dec. 9. He was omitted from the Reds’ travelling party to underline the club hierarchy’s support of Slot.
Furthermore, Salah’s exclusion from the upcoming matchday squad is believed to not be a punishment for his public outburst. He is also not being considered as a potential outgoing ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window.
