The 33-year-old signed a new deal to remain in Merseyside in the summer

Mohamed Salah has posted a picture of himself alone in the Liverpool gym just days after his explosive outburst at Leeds.

Following the 3-3 draw on Saturday, the Egyptian criticised Arne Slot's decision to name him on the bench for a third successive match and said the pair's relationship had broken down.


It comes as Arne Slot and the Liverpool side have travelled to Italy, ahead of their Champions League clash against Inter Milan tonight.

Salah has not been included in the squad selection.

During the outburst, the club legend said: "The club promised me a lot in summer. Now I'm on bench so I can say they haven't kept those promises."

The 33-year-old, along with club captain Virgil van Dijk, signed a new deal to remain in Merseyside in the summer, as their previous contracts both came to an end.

Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract was also up for renewal, but with the England star failing to agree terms with the Reds, he departed for Real Madrid.

The two-time Premier League winner, who was booed at Anfield whilst still playing for the club for leaving, liked the post by his former teammate in a sign of solidarity with the player.

Ex-Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, who was also criticised by fans for leaving for Saudi Arabia, also liked the image.

Salah will report for international duty with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations next week, meaning the attacker only has one more game for Arne Slot until his return next year.

It is unlikely the Egyptian will start against Brighton at the weekend with the row between player and manager continuing.

Instead, he will likely sit the game out or feature on the bench for the Reds.

Speaking on the Situation ahead of tonight's Champions League clash, Slot told reporters: "It was a surprise to me when I heard he gave the comments he gave."

When questioned about Salah's suggestion that someone at the club wants him gone, Slot remained measured: "The only one who can answer that is Mo himself."

Since Salah's bombshell interview on Saturday, contact between the pair has been minimal at best.

Slot revealed their sole exchange consisted merely of informing the 32-year-old that he would not be making the journey to Italy for the European fixture.

Asked to describe the nature of that conversation, the Liverpool boss was characteristically succinct: "A short one."

The forward had trained alongside his teammates earlier on Monday but was subsequently omitted from the travelling party that departed for Milan.

He added: "We have let him know that he isn't travelling with us. That's the only communication from us to him.

"Before Saturday, the two of us have spoken a lot. Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter."
