Liverpool’s hierarchy is standing firmly behind manager Arne Slot despite Mohamed Salah’s fiery post-match comments that have thrown fresh uncertainty over his future at Anfield.
Salah was left on the bench for the full 90 minutes during the Reds’ 3-3 draw against Leeds United. Speaking afterward, the Egyptian forward accused the club of “throwing him under the bus,” claiming his relationship with Slot has broken down.
The tension comes just weeks before Salah is set to join Egypt for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, further complicating Liverpool’s next steps.
Top British journalist Jacobs Ben noted on X:
“Arne Slot retains the backing of Liverpool’s board following Mohamed Salah’s interview on Saturday where he spoke of a broken relationship with the Liverpool boss.
#LFC will now discuss whether Salah features again before AFCON.”
With internal discussions expected in the coming days, the situation continues to cast a shadow over the club’s plans heading into the new year.
