Mohamed Salah appears in good spirits during Liverpool training session
By PA Sport Staff
Mohamed Salah smiled and chatted to team-mates as he attended Liverpool’s first training session since his incendiary outburst at Elland Road on Saturday.
Salah has been in the eye of the storm after reacting angrily to being named on the bench for a third successive match following a 3-3 draw with Leeds that continued Liverpool’s dismal defence of their Premier League title.
But there was no sign of disharmony as the squad were put through their paces at the club’s training ground ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan at the San Siro.
Having arrived on to the field in conversation with Hugo Ekitike, Salah listened as boss Arne Slot addressed the squad and then took part in a series of warm-up and passing drills.
The session was overseen by Slot, who must now decide whether to involve the 33-year-old Egypt forward in this week’s European action as well as Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Brighton at Anfield.
Salah stated after the Leeds draw that he had been “thrown under the bus” by his demotion to the bench and claimed he had no relationship with Slot. He also suggested Brighton could be his final home game.
Egypt host Zimbabwe in their African Cup of Nations opener on December 22nd, meaning Salah will not be available after this weekend.
