The drama surrounding Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has reached a new high, with the club's board standing firmly behind manager Arne Slot. This comes after Salah's shocking outburst, which has left everyone in the football world talking.
But here's where it gets controversial... Salah's claims that he has been unfairly treated and 'thrown under the bus' by Slot have caused a stir. The board, however, believes in Slot's tactical decisions and expects players to maintain professionalism.
Salah's explosive interview after the Leeds draw has not only stunned the Anfield hierarchy but also caught the attention of Saudi Pro League clubs, who now see an opportunity to sign the superstar.
And this is the part most people miss... Despite his recent benchings, Salah's overall record with Liverpool is impressive. He has won numerous trophies, including two league titles, and is a four-time Premier League golden boot winner.
However, his form this season has been a cause for concern. With only five goals and three assists in 19 appearances, Salah's performance has dipped compared to his previous seasons.
The situation is further complicated by Salah's contract extension last April, which keeps him at Anfield until 2027.
So, will Salah be included in the squad for the crucial Champions League clash against Inter Milan? Will he feature in the Premier League game against Brighton? These questions remain unanswered, leaving fans and pundits alike speculating.
What do you think? Should Salah be given more playing time, or is Slot's decision justified? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
