Liverpool head coach Arne Slot initially suggested Mohamed Salah should be the first to apologise before later softening his stance over the row which has dominated the last few days.<\/p>\n

Having left the Egypt international at home after his explosive comments following Saturday’s draw at Leeds – when he suggested he has no relationship with his boss after being benched for three games – the Reds beat Inter Milan 1-0 at San Siro<\/a> in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Afterwards Slot was asked whether there was a way back for a player who had suggested the weekend’s Premier League game at home to Brighton may be his last.<\/p>\n

“First you have to ask if the player feels he made a mistake,” he told Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to talk to him. But then you have to ask should the initiative come from me?”<\/p>\n

However, in his press conference Slot rowed back slightly on those comments.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t say who should make the first step,” he added.<\/p>\n

“All I could ask for, I think the fourth game in 10 days, that is not what you see a lot with only 13 outfield players available with Premier League or Champions League experience,” said Slot.<\/p>\n

“After the blow we had conceding the 3-3 in Leeds then in this stadium against such a strong Inter team, we hardly gave away a chance.<\/p>\n

“Great mentality second half, we got better and better, we were close to scoring with Conor (Bradley) crossing for Hugo (Ekitike) then we get a penalty that if that was a penalty we could have got 10 this season.<\/p>\n

“In the Premier League I don’t think it would have been given.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool head coach Arne Slot initially suggested Mohamed Salah should be the first to apologise before later softening…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-184434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
