Reds stars insist Salah row not hurting players

LIVERPOOL teammates Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones accept Mohamed Salah has the right to make his own decisions about his future but insist his comments have not impacted personal relationships within the dressing room.

Mo Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai share a joke during a Liverpool training session on Monday

Speaking after Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win at Inter Milan, the similarity of the duo's responses suggested a previously-agreed stance in an attempt to reduce the fallout from the Egypt international’s criticism of head coach Arne Slot and his perceived treatment by the club.

However, taking into consideration the committed and resilient performance against an Inter side who had not lost in 18 European home games, it would seem the squad are doing their best to compartmentalise the row.

Szoboszlai - probably Salah’s main confidant among the players - walked a carefully-balanced line when asked about the situation.
