As expected, Salah has not travelled with Liverpool to face Inter. This decision was never made by the player. It was not Salah who asked to stay out of the squad.<\/p>\n<p>MAILBOX:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/liverpool-trying-force-out-salah-save-money-mailbox\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Are Liverpool trying to force out Salah to save money on his giant wages?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a decision taken by Liverpool management together with manager Arne Slot. They discussed the situation on Sunday, following Salah\u2019s explosive interview about his future, his relationship with Slot, and his general situation at the club. After those strong statements, they decided to exclude him from this match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Brighton, it depends on what happens in the next days. Salah is not out of the squad on a permanent basis. He is out for the Inter game only. Liverpool will reassess the situation afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSalah has shared an Instagram story showing him working in the gym. His message is clear: he was not involved in the decision to stay out of the squad, and he wants to play. But Liverpool\u2019s reaction is also clear. They cannot accept these kinds of public statements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother important point: Liverpool have not sanctioned Salah financially. No fines. This is a technical decision, not a disciplinary punishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiverpool will reassess everything after the Inter game ahead of Brighton. Salah had already hinted on Saturday night that he had invited his family to the Brighton match at Anfield because he wanted to say goodbye before leaving for AFCON. He was keeping the door open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the moment, Liverpool have received\u00a0no proposal\u00a0from Salah, from his agent, or from any club regarding a possible January exit. He was suggesting it could be a possibility, but no negotiations are taking place. Saudi clubs remain attentive, and there is also interest from MLS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next days will be crucial, especially regarding the Brighton game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<br \/>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/liverpool-salah-hurting-u-turn-really-important-meeting-today\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018Hurting\u2019 Salah makes Liverpool U-turn ahead of \u2018really important\u2019 meeting today<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/liverpool-romano-fsg-very-clear-verdict-slot-verdict-zero-indication-appointment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool: Romano reveals FSG\u2019s \u2018very clear\u2019 verdict on Slot; \u2018zero indication\u2019 of appointment<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/liverpool-henry-singles-out-isak-not-at-races-inter-milan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thierry Henry singles out Liverpool star who was \u2018not at the races\u2019 in Inter Milan win<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/opinion-liverpool-carragher-right-salah-prima-donna\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carragher tore into the Liverpool forward over his interview<\/a> and Salah\u2019s former Egpyt team-mate\u00a0Elmohamady was livid by the former Reds defender\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p>Elmohamady wrote on social media: \u201cRight Jamie you\u2019re a disgrace, Salah completely rewrote his story through hard work, humility, and world-class performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t \u2018fail\u2019 at Chelsea \u2014 he was never given the chance.
