Mohamed Salah delivered a fiery post-match interview after Liverpool\u2019s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, expressing his frustration at being left on the bench for three consecutive games. The Egyptian forward claimed the club had \u201cthrown me under the bus\u201d and suggested his relationship with manager Arne Slot had broken down. Salah also hinted at a possible exit after the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.<\/p>\n
Following Salah\u2019s revelations, former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys added fuel to the fire, claiming on X that Salah is not alone in feeling alienated by Slot. According to the 68-year-old, \u201canother very senior member\u201d of the squad shares the same view. Keys also speculated that former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard could be poised to return as an interim manager, drawing comparisons to Kenny Dalglish\u2019s temporary role before Brendan Rodgers\u2019 appointment.<\/p>\n
While Liverpool reportedly still support Slot despite a disappointing run after a \u00a3450 million summer spending spree, Keys suggested the club\u2019s long-term target is PSG boss Luis Enrique. However, with Enrique\u2019s appointment unlikely in the short term, Keys theorized that Gerrard\u2019s recent decision to decline a return to Rangers might signal an interim opportunity at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Liverpool will next face Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, before hosting Brighton on 13 December, which could be Salah\u2019s final game at Anfield before heading to AFCON.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
