Mohamed Salah sparked major uncertainty over his future at Liverpool following a fiery post-match interview after their draw with Leeds. The Liverpool star, left on the bench for the third consecutive game by Arne Slot, watched his team squander a two-goal lead, with Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s late strike initially seeming to secure victory before Ao Tanaka\u2019s injury-time goal snatched a draw.<\/p>\n
The result highlighted Liverpool\u2019s recent struggles under Slot, who has managed only four wins in the last 15 matches across all competitions and just two wins in the last ten Premier League games.<\/p>\n
After the game, Salah delivered an explosive interview, claiming his relationship with Slot had collapsed and raising doubts about his future at the club, particularly with the Africa Cup of Nations approaching. He criticized the club for sidelining him despite his long-term contributions, saying it felt like he was being unfairly blamed while other players avoid similar scrutiny. Salah also referenced Harry Kane and responded to Jamie Carragher\u2019s criticisms for not speaking out about Liverpool\u2019s poor form.<\/p>\n
Salah expressed disbelief and frustration at being benched repeatedly, highlighting his achievements and questioning why he is treated differently. While he affirmed his love for Liverpool and its fans, he admitted he does not know what the future holds and suggested his next appearance\u2014potentially at Brighton\u2014might be his last before the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that he does not see himself as the problem, but feels unsupported by the club, despite defending and supporting teammates. Salah confirmed his relationship with Slot has broken down, and while he has discussed his feelings with the manager, no resolution has been reached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
