“I received many promises this summer, and so far, I’ve been on the bench for three matches, so I can’t say the promises have been kept. I don’t know why, but I feel like someone at the club doesn’t want me anymore,” said Mohamed Salah after Liverpool’s recent draw with Leeds United (3-3). His comments sparked a strong reaction from the club’s press officer and stirred quite a controversy in the UK.
In recent hours, many figures have expressed their views. Some understand the frustration of the Egyptian forward, while others highlighted the timing of his controversial statement. One thing is clear: the 33-year-old striker, who will soon join his national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, is now aware of his situation. British media reported that Salah might face significant sanctions, and a preliminary decision has been made early this week.
Salah Faces Punishment!
According to the latest reports from RMC Sport, Mohamed Salah will not be included in Liverpool’s squad for their match against Inter Milan on Tuesday night, following his return to training on Monday. Annoyed by his statements, the Mersey club management has decided to exclude the Egyptian star from this European fixture. This decision further highlights the growing rift between the 1.75m left-footer and his coach, Arne Slot.
Another question arises: will the Egyptian international be called up for the match against Brighton in the 16th round of the Premier League? Given the existing tension between the former AS Roma player and the club’s management, this seems uncertain. In addition to this punishment, it appears increasingly difficult for Salah to continue wearing the Liverpool jersey, especially as several Saudi clubs, including Al-Hilal, managed by Simone Inzaghi, are showing interest in him.
