Liverpool have left Mohamed Salah out of Tuesday’s Champions League squad to face Inter Milan.
However, Salah will not face any disciplinary action over his bombshell comments.
His omission comes just two days after he gave an explosive interview following the 3-3 draw with Leeds, claiming he had been “thrown under the bus”, had no relationship with boss Arne Slot and that Saturday’s match with Brighton could be his final game at Anfield.
The 33-year-old forward trained on Monday ahead of the Inter Milan match, but he will not travel to Italy.
Rooney: Salah destroying his legacy at Liverpool
Liverpool believe a brief period away from selection for Salah is in the best interests of everyone.
It is understood his absence is a club decision, taken in consultation with – and the full support of – Slot.
Salah started on the bench in Liverpool’s last three matches, having been a regular starter and talisman for the Reds since he joined the club in 2017.
However, his form has dropped off this season, scoring five goals in his 18 appearances.
Slot will speak to the media ahead of the Inter Milan game on Monday night, where more will be revealed on Salah’s future and their relationship.
