The atmosphere at Liverpool is tense as the saga surrounding Mohamed Salah continues to escalate. According to insider reports, the Egyptian was eager to be included in the squad for the decisive Champions League matchday six clash against Inter and was ready to play.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot made it clear that the club cannot accept such public statements from a player. It is emphasized, however, that Salah did not ask to skip the match with the team – the decision to exclude him from the squad was made personally by the head coach.
It is also reported that the club has not imposed any fines or disciplinary sanctions; Salah's exclusion applies only to the match against Inter. His participation in the upcoming Premier League fixture against Brighton remains uncertain and will depend on how the situation unfolds in the coming days.
The club stresses that the decision is strictly related to internal disciplinary regulations and is not intended as a punishment for the player.
Recall: When asked about Mohamed Salah, Arne Slot stated that the situation is far from ideal.
