Head coach of Liverpool, Arne Slote, on the eve of the match with Inter in the Champions League, commented on the criticism directed at him by the winger of the team, Mohamed Salah. Quoted by Dutch specialist Ben Jacobs.

– It is difficult for me to understand who he meant when he said that he was “thrown under the bus”. We let him know that he would not be coming with us. That’s the only thing we told him.

– What was your reaction to his words?

– He is not with us in Milan. This is an eloquent response to his words.

– Is your relationship ruined?

– I don’t think so, but he has the right to feel what he feels. His comments came as a surprise to me.

– Will he play against Brighton?

– Tomorrow we have an important match against Inter. We will take another look at the situation the day after tomorrow. I firmly believe that a player always has the option to come back.

– Did Salah play his last game for Liverpool?

– I have no idea. “I can’t answer that question right now,” Slott said.
