**Curtis Jones has revealed Mohamed Salah apologised to Liverpool teammates over his public outburst.**
Salah [publicly took aim at Arne Slot](https://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/liverpool-fc/62177-mohamed-salah-drops-liverpool-quit-bombshell-arne-slot/) following the Premier League champions’ draw at Leeds United by claiming his relationship with the head coach had broken down.
The Egypt international was frozen out for a Champions League trip to Inter Milan but returned four days later to feature in the [2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion](https://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/liverpool-fc/62393-liverpool-2-0-brighton-three-talking-points-mohamed-salah-hugo-ekitike-florian-wirtz/).
He has since signed off from duty with the Reds to represent his homeland in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which officially gets underway this weekend.
But Jones has now lifted the lid on how Salah broached the thorny subject of his interview when returning to the Anfield dressing room ahead of facing the Seagulls.
“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” he told Sky Sports.
“He apologised to us and was like, ‘If I’ve affected anybody or made you feel any sort of way, I apologise’. That’s the man that he is.
“I can only speak from me knowing Mo and how he is with us and how he acted on that. He was positive as well.
“He was the exact same Mo. He had a big smile on his face and everybody was exactly the same with him.
“I guess it’s just part of wanting to be a winner and I don’t think he will be the last. I get that there are certain ways you can go about things.
“But if a lad’s fine to just be on the bench and he doesn’t want to play and help the team, then I think that’s more of an issue.
“When there’s been any sort of anger from us, including myself, it’s always been from a good place. In the moment, it might not have come out in the right way.
“But it’s never been to affect the team, the staff, the manager, anybody like that.
“We’re past that now and we’re gelling well as a team, playing well and starting to win games.”
