LEEDS, England (AP) \u2014 Mohamed Salah cast doubt on his Liverpool future on Saturday, saying he felt like he\u2019s been \u201cthrown under the bus\u201d by the Premier League champion.<\/p>\n
Salah spoke out after being dropped for the third game in succession and was an unused substitute as Liverpool drew at Leeds 3-3.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very, very disappointed to be fair. I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season,\u201d the Egypt international told media. \u201cNow I\u2019m sitting on the bench and I don\u2019t know why. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salah has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League during a trophy-laden eight years at Anfield, and signed a two-year contract extension in April just before he received his second Premier League player of the season award.<\/p>\n
But his comments raise questions about his future after a disappointing start to the season for him and the club as its title defense has unraveled with just two wins in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n
Coach Arne Slot addressed the decision to leave Salah out for the third time in a row after the draw at Leeds, saying: \u201cWe have to accept the situation we are in and I make my choices based on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now the 33-year-old Salah says the relationship with Slot has broken down.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am on the bench for three games so I can\u2019t say they keep the promise,\u201d he said. \u201cI said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden we don\u2019t have any relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know why but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn\u2019t want me in the club.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salah is due to go to the Africa Cup of Nations this month and said he didn\u2019t know what would happen while he was away.<\/p>\n
