The future of Liverpool forward Mo Salah remains up in the air following his outburst last weekend.
After being left out of the squad for the win over Inter Milan, there are questions over whether the Reds legend will play for the club again. The Athletic journalist David Ornstein claims a departure may be inevitable if Salah doesn’t soften his current stance:
“The ball is in Salah’s court and he needs to tell the club what his intentions are. If he wants to leave, he needs to outline how that can happen, and Liverpool can then react… There is also an acknowledgement, however, that if Salah’s stance remains hardline and no resolution can be found, then the situation would become untenable.”
