Mohamed Salah has delivered a scathing assessment of his Liverpool situation, claiming the club has “thrown him under the bus” and suggesting someone at Anfield doesn’t want him there after being left on the bench for the entire 3-3 draw against Leeds United on Saturday.
Salah Launches Explosive Attack on Liverpool After Being Benched Again
The Egyptian forward expressed his bewilderment at being named among the substitutes for a third consecutive Premier League match, with manager Arne Slot opting not to introduce the 32-year-old at any point during the dramatic encounter at Elland Road.
Salah’s frustration boiled over in a post-match interview where he questioned broken promises and suggested his relationship with the Dutch manager has completely deteriorated.
The former Chelsea and Roma striker, who signed a new contract extension at the end of last season, revealed his disappointment at unfulfilled assurances made during the summer transfer window.
Salah stated he received numerous promises about his role in the team but feels those commitments have not been honoured, leading to his current predicament on the substitutes’ bench despite his previous contributions to the club’s success.
The timing of Salah’s outburst proves particularly significant as he prepares to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt on December 15th.
His final opportunity to feature for Liverpool before the tournament comes against Brighton at Anfield next Saturday, though the forward admitted uncertainty about whether he will be selected in Slot’s starting eleven for that crucial fixture.
Salah’s comments have cast serious doubt over his long-term future at Liverpool, with the forward hinting that Saturday’s match against Brighton could potentially serve as his farewell appearance at Anfield.
The Egyptian international told his family to attend the Brighton fixture as he plans to “say goodbye to the fans” before departing for international duty, acknowledging he remains uncertain about what developments might occur during his absence.
Speaking candidly about his current situation, Salah emphasised his significant contributions to Liverpool over recent seasons and expressed his confusion at the dramatic shift in his treatment.
The forward confirmed his previously strong relationship with Slot has inexplicably broken down, leaving him questioning whether external influences within the club hierarchy are working against his continued presence at Anfield.
