Bench Frustration
Mohamed Salah spoke out after being named on the bench for several games, saying he was disappointed and felt unfairly treated.
Salah said he had been let down by promises made earlier in the season and that his feelings came from frustration about his role in the team.
Private Apology
Curtis Jones told reporters that Salah apologised to his team-mates and asked for forgiveness for any negative impact from his comments.
Jones described the apology as sincere and said the dressing room remains positive and united.
Manager Response
Manager Arne Slot downplayed the issue, saying there was no long-term problem to fix and that returning Salah to the starting line-up was a simple decision.
Slot said the focus should stay on team performance rather than personal disputes.
AFCON Focus
Salah has joined Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations and will be concentrating on his national team for the coming weeks.
Liverpool expect to give him space to focus on the tournament while the club manages league duties back home.
Looking Ahead
Team-mates and staff say unity is returning as Liverpool prepare for upcoming matches, including a key fixture against Tottenham.
Managers and players hope Salah’s return from AFCON will be calm and that the squad can move forward together.
