Liverpool's Star Extends Regret to Teammates, Says Curtis Jones

The Liverpool midfielder has shared that Mohamed Salah apologised to the team following the controversy from his public comments.

The Fallout

Salah was left out from a European match following making accusations and suggesting his connection to the head coach had broken down.

“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” Jones told Sky Sports. “His apology was clear and was like: ‘Should anyone feel slighted, I apologise.’”

Arne Slot has previously declined to disclose on whether he got an explanation from the player.

Looking Ahead

He emphasized that the dressing room atmosphere was unchanged. “He was his usual self, his demeanour was positive and it was business as usual,” the midfielder explained.

He also implied that a player's desire to start is preferable. “I understand there are specific approaches you can handle situations,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just be on the bench, then I think that’s a bigger problem.”

On-Field Response

The team's performance have stayed unbeaten in the matches since the interview fallout. Jones believes the outburst were not intended to harm the team.

“In moments of frustration, it has consistently come from a desire to win,” he finished. “That chapter is closed and we’re uniting strongly, performing and on a positive run.”
