What Mohamed Salah told Liverpool team-mates after being dropped from squad and Arne Slot row
Reds team-mate Andy Robertson has revealed what Mohamed Salah said to the Liverpool squad after being left out of the travelling party for Tuesday night's Champions League victory over Inter Milan.
With the 33-year-old's future at the club cast into doubt, it remains to be seen if a resolution will be reached in order forSalah to earn a recall for next weekend’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion. Speaking to CBS after the victory over Inter, Robertson revealed that he had spoken to the forward following his comments as he reiterated his desire for the situation to be resolved amicably.
"Yes, of course I have (spoken to him)," the Scotland captain said. "He was obviously in yesterday (Monday), he was in training. The decision was made for him not to travel. A lot has been said about it externally, obviously internally, of course it has.
"It’s a situation that now needs to be resolved between Mo and the club. You’ve seen how together the changing room is in terms of the result we had. Mo is a fantastic player. He signed the same window as me, I’ve played with him for eight and a half years.
"I consider him as pretty much my family, I’ve spent probably more time with him than I have my own family over the last eight and a half years! I've played with him for so long and I’d like to continue playing with him, that’s what I want from it. Obviously we’ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks. Firstly, he would probably want the season to have gone better for the club, and for him. He puts a huge amount of pressure on himself to perform all the time.
"Last season he took it to a whole new level in terms of, at times, he carried this whole team forward to go and achieve amazing things. I think we’ve all been below the standards of last season, Mo included. And he’ll be first to admit that.
Robertson continued: "And then obviously finds himself out of the team, which is probably a bit of a unique situation for him. It’s obviously something that he’s not used to experiencing. But he was positive yesterday (Monday) in terms of wishing us all well, sending us on our way. I’m sure he would like to be involved. But the support for the lads was still there. As a teammate, that’s all you can ask."
