CURTIS JONES has revealed what Mohamed Salah made clear to the Liverpool squad after speaking out against Arne Slot and the club.

Salah claimed his relationship with the head coach had broken down and that he had been “thrown under the bus" after being benched for three successive matches.

He also suggested the clash with Brighton could prove to be his last for the club.

Liverpool will now be without Salah for a number of weeks. The 33-year-old will report for Africa Cup of Nations duty with Egypt, meaning the uncertainty about his future is set to continue.

But speaking after the 2-0 home win over Brighton, Jones played down Salah’s comments as he revealed the forward had made it clear that what he said was not against the team or any individual teammates.
