Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah’s spot in the travelling squad for Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Inter is now uncertain, as senior figures at the club hold tense internal discussions following the Egyptian’s explosive remarks earlier this week.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed on X on Monday that “Mo Salah could be out of the Liverpool squad set to travel to Italy to face Inter on Tuesday. Internal discussions are taking place after Salah’s strong words, with a final verdict to follow today. Arne Slot will speak to the press later today.”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is expected to address the growing storm when he faces the media this afternoon, though he has so far maintained complete silence as the club attempts to contain what has quickly become a fragile situation involving one of their biggest stars.
The team is scheduled to fly to Italy later today ahead of their showdown at the San Siro, but uncertainty now hangs over whether Salah will make the trip or be left behind amid the ongoing fallout.
This development follows PUNCH Online’s report that Salah had voiced deep frustration over his reduced playing time, even suggesting that someone within the club was trying to pin recent failures on him — a claim that has only intensified the turmoil.
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy also weighed in, criticising Salah’s decision to air his grievances publicly. He warned that such comments could destabilise the dressing room and pile even more pressure on manager Arne Slot at a time when unity is crucial.
