LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Mohamed Salah would say: say goodbye to liverpool However, it remains unclear how he will play as manager Arn Slott did not commit the Egyptian star to playing in the final Premier League game of the season against Brentford at Anfield.
Salah, one of the club’s all-time leading goalscorers, publicly criticized and questioned Liverpool’s style of play after the match. Lost 4-2 to Aston Villa Last Friday. He called for a return to “heavy metal attacks” that instill fear in opponents.
The outburst – the second public rift between Salah and Slott this season – adds further drama as the team looks to qualify for the Champions League.
Slott was asked on Friday whether Salah was certain to feature against Brentford.
“I have no say in team selection,” Slott replied. “I think people would be surprised if we did this now.”
In March, 33-year-old Salah announced he would leave the club at the end of the season after reaching an agreement with the club to end his contract one year early.
Salah’s form has declined in his ninth season at Anfield, to the point where he missed consecutive games at the end of last year – as a result, the winger told reporters: The club “threw me under the bus.”
