Salah out of Liverpool squad for Champions League game after rift with Slot
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) --- Mohamed Salah is out of Arne Slot's squad for
Liverpool's Champions League game against Inter Milan, following his stinging
public criticism of the club.
The Egyptian forward's name was missing from a 19-player squad Monday as the
team traveled to Italy. He had earlier seemed in good spirits at training in
England.
Salah said it "seems like the club has thrown me under the bus" and he doesn't
have "any relationship" with Slot after he was benched for the third game in a
row Saturday.
Salah has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League during a
trophy-laden eight years at Anfield. He signed a two-year contract extension in
April just before he received his second Premier League player of the season
award.
Salah is due to go to the Africa Cup of Nations this month with Egypt before
the transfer window opens in January.
