Liverpool Faces Squad Absence Issue as Salah Sits Out Inter Clash
Liverpool entered the week with a growing Squad Absence Issue, and fans reacted quickly. Mohamed Salah did not appear in the 19-player list for Tuesday’s Champions League match at Inter Milan. His omission added fresh tension around the club.
Salah spoke openly after the 3-3 draw at Leeds United. He said that the club “threw him under the bus” during their difficult start. In addition, he criticized coach Arne Slot for what he saw as unfair treatment.
Tension Rises After Leeds Draw
Saturday’s match ended in frustration for many supporters. Liverpool allowed Leeds to come back twice, which raised new concerns. As a result, conversations around form and leadership intensified across social platforms.
Salah stayed on the bench for the entire game. He later explained that the situation felt personal. Therefore, his comments surprised many people who expected a calmer tone from the star forward.
Liverpool now sits ninth in the Premier League. The position worries fans, as the club usually competes near the top. In addition, the team faces pressure with Champions League matches arriving quickly.
The team must now prepare without one of its biggest names. However, coaches believe others can step up on short notice. Players also shared confidence in their ability to regroup.
Supporters hope the situation improves soon. For example, some believe clear communication could help ease tensions. Others want the club to focus on unity as the season continues.
The coming weeks may shape Liverpool’s direction. Every match carries weight, and emotions are running high. Still, the team has a chance to rebuild momentum and create a stronger finish.
