Salah Extends Regret to Squad, Says Curtis Jones

Jones has shared that Mohamed Salah apologised to the entire Liverpool squad after the fallout from his public comments.

The Incident

The striker was dropped from a key Champions League match following making accusations and suggesting his connection to the head coach had broken down.

“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “His apology was clear and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, I'm sorry.’”

The manager has chosen not to reveal on whether he received a personal apology from the 33-year-old forward.

Looking Ahead

The player stated that the dressing room atmosphere stayed normal. “Nothing about him changed, he had a big smile on his face and we all treated him normally,” he continued.

He also suggested that a player's desire to start is less of an issue. “It's clear there are different methods you can express yourself,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just sit out, then I think that’s more of an issue.”

Team Form

Their results have been impressive in the matches since the initial controversy. He feels the Salah's words were not designed to destabilise the squad.

“In moments of frustration, it’s always been from a desire to win,” he finished. “It's behind us and we’re gelling well as a team, playing well and securing victories.”
