Mohamed Salah expressed his disbelief at being benched for 90 minutes during Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United on Saturday, signaling growing discontent with his role at the club. The Egyptian superstar has now been a substitute in three consecutive matches, and he’s openly questioning how the team, which he’s been with since 2017, is treating him.
Salah went further, stating he feels the club is attempting to place the blame for recent struggles squarely on his shoulders. “I am very disappointed, I have done a lot for this club, especially last season,” he told reporters. “And it seems to me that the club is throwing me under the bus. That’s how I feel. Someone wants me to take all the blame.”
The forward revealed that he received assurances from club leadership during the summer that haven’t materialized, leading to his current situation on the bench. His assessment of his relationship with manager Arne Slot has also drawn significant attention. “I had a good relationship with the manager. All of a sudden we don’t have any relationship,” Salah said. “I don’t know why. It seems to me that someone doesn’t want me in the club,” he added.
