Mo Salah: Liverpool leave forward out of squad to face Inter Milan but he avoids disciplinary action over comments
Liverpool have left Mohamed Salah out of Tuesday’s Champions League squad to face Inter Milan, but the forward 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 clash with Brighton could be his final game at Anfield.
The 33-year-old trained on Monday ahead of the Inter Milan match, but he will now not travel to Italy.
