Mohamed Salah Offers Regret to Squad, Says Curtis Jones

The Liverpool midfielder has shared that the Egyptian forward expressed regret to the group of players after the uproar from his public comments.

The Fallout

The striker was dropped from a European match after making accusations and stating his rapport with Arne Slot had broken down.

“Salah is an individual and he can say his own stuff,” Jones told Sky Sports. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘If I’ve affected anybody, please accept my apology.’”

The manager has chosen not to reveal on whether he was apologised to from the veteran striker.

Team Unity

Jones insisted that the team's response remained positive. “He was his usual self, he was smiling and it was business as usual,” he continued.

Jones also implied that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “I get that there are specific approaches you can go about things,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just be on the bench, then I think that’s concerning.”

On-Field Response

The team's performance have been impressive in the matches since the situation. The player is convinced the outburst were not designed to destabilise the squad.

“If passion has boiled over, the source has been from a good place,” Jones concluded. “It's behind us and we’re uniting strongly, playing well and starting to win games.”
