Salah was not included in the squad announced by Liverpool on Monday despite being seen smiling when he trained with the first team earlier in the day.

Salah said on Saturday he felt like he had been “thrown under the bus” by Liverpool and that he no longer had a relationship with Slot after he was left on the bench for the third consecutive game in a 3-3 draw against Leeds.

In the midst of a dismal season by his high standards, the 33-year-old was not even used as a substitute at Elland Road. “I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden we don’t have any relationship,” Salah told reporters at the weekend in response to being left on the bench again.

“I don’t know why but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.
