What next for Salah and Liverpool?

""I don't know why but it seems to me that someone doesn't want me in the club," said Salah at Elland Road. In the week after, he apologised to his team-mates, shook hands with Slot, and the Liverpool boss insisted there was no a longer an issue to be resolved."

"One member of the Egypt national team setup told BBC Sport that it was the happiest they had seen Salah - who described it as "the best camp" of his life. On his return to Liverpool he went straight back into the team, and after Liverpool beat Brighton in the FA Cup this month - a game in which he claimed a goal and an assist."

"Before Afcon, manager Arne Slot did not start him for five consecutive games. Those close to the situation insist a statement on his social media channels was considered as an option instead of the interview at Leeds, but such was Salah's anger at the way he felt he had been treated that he wanted to come out all guns blazing."

Mohamed Salah declined to speak with media after Liverpool's win at Nottingham Forest, contrasting with his explosive interview at Leeds United over two months earlier. At Leeds, Salah publicly criticized the club for leaving him out of three consecutive starting lineups, suggesting someone didn't want him at the club. Following this outburst, he apologized to teammates and met with manager Arne Slot to resolve tensions. Salah then attended the Africa Cup of Nations, where he performed exceptionally and reported being happier than ever. Upon returning to Liverpool in January, he has started every match, including contributing a goal and assist in the FA Cup victory over Brighton. Manager Slot has praised his defensive contributions alongside his goal-scoring abilities.
