Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has been left out of the squad for their Champions League match at Inter Milan. The decision comes after an explosive interview in which Salah claimed that he was "thrown under the bus" by the club and his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down.
Sources close to the club have confirmed that the move is a joint decision made with Slot, who will speak at the news conference alongside Alisson Becker. The 33-year-old will depart for the Africa Cup of Nations next Monday, where he also looks likely to miss Liverpool's game against Brighton on Saturday.
Salah's comments on Saturday sparked a heated debate about his future at Anfield. BBC Sport pundit Wayne Rooney has stated that Salah is "destroying his legacy" at the club, while others have expressed concern over the Egyptian's future at the Reds.
Despite this, it appears that there may still be a way back for Salah at Liverpool under Slot. The fact that he was training with his teammates on Monday morning suggests that the club still sees potential in their star player.
Salah has scored five goals in 18 appearances in the Premier League and Champions League this season, and overall, he has 250 goals in 420 Liverpool appearances. His current contract with the club runs until 2025, but there have been rumors of a possible extension.
The situation remains fluid, but one thing is clear: Salah's future at Liverpool will be a subject of intense scrutiny over the coming weeks.

so what really went down here? sources say its a joint decision with Slot, but why did Salah go off on such an explosive interview in the first place? 
was he really "thrown under the bus" or just trying to get attention? 
and what's with this "destroying his legacy" comment from Wayne Rooney? has he ever managed a team? 
seems like some people are quick to judge without knowing all the facts.
. but if I'm bein real, it's not just about Salah or Slot, it's about the club's priorities too. are they puttin more importance on winning the league than on makin sure their star player feels valued? 
or is this all just a big PR stunt to keep the fans engaged? 
either way, one thing's for sure - Salah's legacy at Liverpool is goin down if he don't get his act together...
. As a parent, you know how hard it is to keep your kids out of trouble, but Mo's just being himself. I think the club needs to take responsibility for their own decisions, not blame the player for everything 
. His stats are insane and he deserves better than to be benched for a Champions League match 
. Can't wait to see what happens next, my little Liverpool fan is really going through an identity crisis right now 
. Hope Mo can get his head back in the game and continue scoring those goals 
I'm kinda surprised though, 250 goals for Liverpool is no joke! 
. The thing is, Salah can't just walk into the squad every game, but at the same time, you can't bench a player who's scoring goals left and right like that 
️
. but honestly, if he cant take the heat, then maybe he should just chill in cairo or whatever city hes goin back to after africa cup 
. all this fuss over him scoring 5 goals a season is getting outta hand, and we all know whats gonna happen next... another big name leaves, and lfc's squad gets depleted 
. I mean, 250 goals in 420 appearances is some crazy stats! 
What really worries me though is that the club is already thinking about extending his contract, which means they're not even considering getting rid of him 
. Maybe it's just a case of miscommunication or a breakdown in his relationship with Arne Slot? 
Either way, I think we'll see a lot more drama unfolding in the coming weeks... my gut tells me Sal will still be on the pitch come Saturday 
and it's not looking good for him at liverpool... i mean, 250 goals in 420 appearances? that's some serious dedication to the club! but his comments on the explosive interview were just super unprofessional 
. and now he's being left out of the squad? it's hard to see him getting back in the team anytime soon... maybe a sabbatical to africa cup nations 
will do him some good?
my money's on yes tho, I love Mo Salah so much 
We've seen it happen before...
