Mohamed Salah has publicly aired frustration at being benched for three straight league games, accusing Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus” and fuelling speculation over a winter exit, just months after signing a new two-year deal at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.

Mohamed Salah has been given the option to join Egypt’s camp earlier than scheduled amid outrage over his “thrown under the bus” comments about Liverpool, yet despite the fallout and speculation over Saudi or Turkish bids, a transfer in the January window is currently viewed as very unlikely. Following a third straight benching and unused substitute role at Leeds, Salah publicly complained of broken promises and a lost relationship with Slot, but with AFCON duty imminent and his contract still fresh, the immediate focus is shifting toward international commitments rather than forcing a mid season move.

Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will miss several weeks and Federico Chiesa will sit out Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan through illness, compounding the decision to leave Mohamed Salah at home amid escalating tension around the forward’s future. Slot said Gakpo’s problem was sustained against Leeds and rules out one of his productive league attackers, while Chiesa’s poorly timed sickness further reduces width as Liverpool travel without Salah, whose public criticism of the club has overshadowed Alisson’s focus on Inter’s impressive form.

What the board’s stance means for Salah’s future remains unclear, but the message that no player is bigger than the club has been repeated around Anfield, increasing the likelihood Slot keeps sidelining him while executives explore options ahead of the January window.

Inter head coach Cristian Chivu is facing a defensive headache before a crucial Champions League tie against Liverpool after key centre back Manuel Akanji missed the final training session with flu like symptoms, putting his availability in serious doubt and exposing a thin back line.

Bradley suspension piles more pressure on Slot after 3-3 Leeds collapse

Conor Bradley
December 2025

Liverpool suffered another setback from their chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds as right-back Conor Bradley collected his fifth yellow card of the season, triggering a one-match ban that rules him out of next weekend’s Premier League trip to Brighton and deepens Arne Slot’s defensive problems. Already missing Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool must now reshuffle again, with Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai possible cover at right-back, as Slot fumed about conceding yet another late set-piece goal and warned such errors explain their lowly league position.
