Liverpool FC forward Mohamed Salah has delivered an explosive interview after getting benched for the third game in a row.
In an interaction with journalists after Liverpool’s exciting 3-3 draw with Leeds United, the Egyptian voiced his frustration over the situation and alluded to a complete breakdown in his relationship with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.
Though used as a second half substitute in games against West Ham and Sunderland, Salah was an unused substitute in the game against Leeds United and a frustrated Salah went on a major rant about how he is being treated which further fuels speculation that his exit from the club is near.
