SALAH AXED! MO heartbreak as Liverpool icon dropped for Inter UCL clash after Slot fallout

Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah has been dropped from the squad for the crucial Champions League showdown against Inter Milan following a bitter fallout with new manager Arne Slot.

The Anfield legend, who has been decisive to Liverpool’s recent success, including last season’s Premier League win under Slot, now faces an uncertain future at the club as tensions ignite behind the scenes.

Sources close to the team reveal that a fiery public spat between Salah and Slot shattered the once-solid relationship between player and coach following a report from Fabrizio Romano that the Egyptian could be dropped. 

Salah’s outspoken comments after he was benched for the third time in a row against Leeds United did not sit well with Slot, creating a rift described by insiders as “broken beyond repair.” 

The fallout was so severe that Salah has now been left out of Liverpool’s travelling party to Italy for the Inter Milan clash, signalling a clear message from the club hierarchy.

Despite training with his teammates, Liverpool fans could be stunned by the decision, given Salah’s status as one of the club’s all-time greats and his key role in their Champions League campaigns.

The Egyptian forward's omission raises major questions about the club’s direction and how they plan to manage their star talent moving forward. However, the Athletic noted that leaving the 33-year-old out is not viewed as a punishment.

Will Salah fight to mend fences with Slot and the club, or is this the beginning of an exit saga for Liverpool’s talisman?

As this story continues to unfold, Liverpool supporters face an agonising wait to learn whether their star striker can recover from this crisis or if the curtain has truly fallen on Salah at Anfield.
