Salah Issues Statement to Teammates, Says Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones has disclosed that the Egyptian forward expressed regret to the entire Liverpool squad after the controversy from his recent interview.
What Happened
The striker was dropped from a vital match following voicing frustrations and claiming his rapport with Arne Slot had deteriorated.
“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” Jones revealed. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘Should anyone feel slighted, I apologise.’”
Arne Slot has previously declined to reveal on whether he got an explanation from the 33-year-old forward.
Moving Forward
Jones insisted that the dressing room atmosphere remained positive. “Nothing about him changed, his demeanour was positive and everybody was exactly the same with him,” he continued.
The midfielder also implied that a player's desire to start is a positive trait. “I understand there are certain ways you can go about things,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just sit out, then I think that’s concerning.”
Team Form
The team's performance have remained strong in the period after the situation. The player is convinced the Salah's words were not designed to harm the team.
“If passion has boiled over, it has consistently come from a desire to win,” the midfielder stated. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, getting results and on a positive run.”
