Salah Extends Statement to Squad, Says Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones has revealed that Mohamed Salah expressed regret to the entire Liverpool squad in the wake of the uproar from his public comments.

The Fallout

He was omitted from a key Champions League match following voicing frustrations and claiming his relationship with manager had broken down.

“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘If I’ve affected anybody, I'm sorry.’”

The head coach has previously declined to reveal on whether he was apologised to from the 33-year-old forward.

Looking Ahead

The player stated that the squad's reaction stayed normal. “He was the exact same Mo, he had a big smile on his face and everybody was exactly the same with him,” he continued.

The midfielder also suggested that a player's desire to start is less of an issue. “I understand there are certain ways you can express yourself,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just sit out, then I think that’s a bigger problem.”

On-Field Response

Liverpool's form have stayed unbeaten in the period after the initial controversy. He feels the outburst were not intended to destabilise the squad.

“If passion has boiled over, the source has been from a desire to win,” he finished. “That chapter is closed and we’re gelling well as a team, performing and securing victories.”
