Liverpool’s top brass have made their stance clear in the growing dispute between Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot.

In a major twist that has rocked the football world, Mohamed Salah has been excluded from Liverpool’s travelling squad for their upcoming match against Inter Milan in Italy.

Fabrice Hawkins reports that the call was made jointly by Arne Slot and the Liverpool hierarchy, indicating that the tension between the club and its star winger has reached a critical stage.

Salah’s omission comes during a chaotic period for the Reds on and off the field.

Salah left out of Liverpool squad

After days of rumours surrounding his deteriorating relationship with Slot, it’s now confirmed that Salah won’t travel for the crucial European showdown.
This is the first time since his 2017 arrival that he has been dropped from a major European match while fully fit.

The Egyptian forward recently made it clear that his relationship with Slot has completely broken down and suggested he is being unfairly singled out by the club. His dip in form mirrors that of many teammates, yet he has been the only regular starter demoted to the bench—something many believe could apply to several players.

Salah didn’t hold back after the 3-3 draw with Leeds, openly criticising the manager, the club, and the media, whom he accused of treating him differently compared to others.

Anfield officials unhappy with Salah’s remarks

His comments reportedly angered both Slot and the board, who saw them as crossing internal lines.
Leaving him out of the Inter Milan clash—one of Liverpool’s most important European games—underscores how serious the situation has become.

For now, the club’s latest decision clearly shows their support lies with the manager rather than the player who helped lead them to the Premier League title last season.
