Liverpool are reportedly preparing to take firm action against Mohamed Salah after his explosive remarks in the aftermath of the 3\u20133 draw with Leeds United.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s match brought more frustration for Arne Slot\u2019s side, as they surrendered a 2\u20130 lead at Elland Road. Hugo Ekitike\u2019s quickfire brace put Liverpool in control, but a rash challenge from Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 opened the door for Leeds to mount a comeback and ultimately rescue a point.<\/p>\n
But the disappointing result was only the start of Liverpool\u2019s problems. The situation escalated when Salah \u2013 benched for the third consecutive game \u2013 openly criticised both the club and manager Slot in a fiery post-match interview.<\/p>\n
Now, with a crucial Champions League showdown against Inter Milan looming, Liverpool have reportedly settled on their response to Salah\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n
Ahead of Tuesday\u2019s trip to the San Siro, the club are said to have made the decision to exclude Salah from the travelling squad entirely. According to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, both Slot and the Liverpool hierarchy have agreed that the forward will not be part of the matchday group and will not travel to Italy.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the Leeds draw, Salah revealed that his relationship with Slot had abruptly deteriorated in recent weeks for reasons he claimed he did not understand. The 33-year-old described his situation at the club as unacceptable, accusing Liverpool of \u201cthrowing him under the bus\u201d and hinting that a January exit could be on the table\u2014just months after extending his contract for two more years.<\/p>\n
Slot has yet to respond publicly to Salah\u2019s outburst, but he is expected to address the situation during Monday\u2019s press conference ahead of the Inter clash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
