Salah in the dock
Mohamed Salah has been ruled out for the trip to Italy against Inter Milan. A temporary sidelining which could become permanent. As the placard Daily Express“this may be the end» for the Egyptian who rebelled against the institution that allowed him to become a legend. And that doesn’t go down at all with the Reds and with coach Arne Slot who was very shocked by the Egyptian’s exit. In any case, the Salah affair continues to make headlines almost everywhere. “ On the ground », blurted out Daily Star using the words of the Dutch coach who admitted not knowing if Salah had played his last match with Liverpool. In Europe, Mundo Deportivo relays the sidelining of the Egyptian against Inter while the Gazzetta dello Sport talks about the possible end of Salah’s adventure with the Reds. For legend Jamie Carragher, Salah is “ unforgivable “. “ I found what he did after the match shameful. Some have presented this as a fit of anger, but I don’t think that’s the case. I think that every time Mo Salah stops in the mixed zone, which he has done four times in eight years, it is a set-up orchestrated with his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position. » Heavy accusations which clearly cast doubt on the future of Mohamed Salah.
