The Egyptian forward was left out of the club's squad for the Champions League clash against Inter Milan, scheduled for this Tuesday, following his harsh public criticism of coach Arne Slot, motivated by being benched for the third consecutive match.

Salah drove to the training center in Kirkby and posted a photo of himself in the complex's gym on Instagram.

Understand the case

At 33 years old, he stated after the 3-3 draw with Leeds on Sunday that he felt “thrown to the lions” by Liverpool and that he no longer had any relationship with Slot — a statement that intensified rumors about a possible departure as early as January, despite the new contract signed in April.

Clubs from Saudi Arabia are reportedly preparing offers for the forward.

Asked in the pre-match interview in Milan on Monday if Salah — who has scored 250 goals for Liverpool since joining from Roma in 2017 — had already played his last match for the club, Slot responded: “I have no idea.”

“I can't answer that question at this moment. He has every right to feel what he feels, but he doesn't have the right to expose it to the press,” he said.

Salah, who didn't even come off the bench at Elland Road, is expected to join the Egyptian national team for the African Cup of Nations after the game against Brighton next weekend in the Premier League.

He stated he was “very, very disappointed” to have started on the bench again against Leeds, adding: “I received many promises in the summer and, so far, I'm on the bench for three games, so I can't say the promises have been fulfilled. I've said several times that I had a good relationship with the coach and suddenly we don't have any. I don't know why, but from what I perceive, someone doesn't want me at the club anymore,” he commented.

Liverpool's poor form

Salah's explosive statements come amid a very poor season for both him and Liverpool.

The Reds have won only four of their 15 matches in all competitions and are only in 13th place in the Champions League with nine points, after being thrashed 4-1 at home by PSV in their last European match.

Salah was a key player in the two Premier League titles and the Champions League victory during his historic tenure at Anfield. But this season, he has been just a shadow of his peak — with the current champions sitting in 10th place — and has scored only four goals in 13 matches in the league.
