Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has voiced disappointment and frustration after being dropped for three consecutive games, casting doubt on his future with the Premier League club. Speaking to reporters after the Liverpool‑Leeds match, Salah said he feels the club has “thrown him under the bus” and is looking for someone to blame for its poor start to the season.
The Egyptian international, who has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League during his eight years at Anfield, was benched for the weekend’s game against Leeds, raising concerns about his relationship with manager Arne Slot. Although Salah signed a two‑year extension in April, his future at Liverpool now appears uncertain.
Salah has been a vital part of Liverpool’s recent success, including their title defence, which has faltered with only two wins in the last ten matches. He believes the club is seeking a scapegoat for the disappointing run and feels he is being unfairly targeted. Slot defended his decision not to play Salah, saying his choices are based on the team’s current situation. Salah, however, claims the relationship has broken down, citing unfulfilled promises made during the summer.
The tension between player and manager has raised questions about Salah’s long‑term commitment. He is set to join the African Cup of Nations later this month, which will see him miss at least three Liverpool games. Fans and pundits are watching closely to see how the club will address the issue, as the dispute adds further uncertainty to Liverpool’s title defence and overall season.
