Mohamed Salah says he feels he has been “thrown under the bus” by Liverpool and admits his relationship with head coach Arne Slot has broken down.
Salah was an unused substitute in the 3-3 draw against Leeds United on Saturday, marking the third straight game the Egypt forward started on the bench.
Speaking to journalists after the match, Salah said it was “very clear” that someone wanted him to take the blame. He explained that although he once had a good relationship with the manager, that relationship no longer exists.
“I don’t know why, but it seems someone doesn’t want me at the club,” Salah said. “It feels like the club has thrown me under the bus.”
While reaffirming his love for Liverpool and saying he will always support the club, Salah admitted the situation is not acceptable to him.
“I don’t think I’m the problem. I’ve done so much for this club. I earned my position,” he added.
Salah also said he is unsure about his Liverpool future, despite signing a new two-year contract in April. He is set to leave for the Africa Cup of Nations on 15 December.
