SALAH'S LIVERPOOL FUTURE IN DOUBT

Out-of-favour star launches astonishing attack, saying club threw him under bus

- 

Arne Slot was still reeling from Liverpool's latest 3-3 stumble at Leeds United on Dec 6, when Mohamed Salah took aim at his manager and the club's hierarchy in a post-match rant that could mark the end of his legendary career at Anfield.

The English Premier League champions have problems after a run of only four wins in 15 games in all competitions and now have to deal with what could be a messy divorce from one of the club's all time greats.

The Egyptian who has 250 goals for Liverpool - has been key to two title triumphs, most notably last term's stunning campaign as Slot won the league in his debut season. Now he claims his relationship with the Dutchman is broken after being left on the bench for the past three games.

"It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame," said Salah.

Despite the 33-year-old's lack of form playing a major role in Liverpool's decline this season, Slot had remained loyal to Salah until the past week. He has scored just five times in 19 appearances and been regularly criticised by pundits for his lack of work rate defensively.
