Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has disclosed that Mohamed Salah personally offered an apology to his Liverpool teammates following a highly charged media interview that caused chatter across the English Premier League.
Earlier this month, the Egyptian forward delivered an explosive interview in which he openly criticised Liverpool Football Club and manager Arne Slot, claiming he had been put “under the bus” by the club hierarchy and insisting there was no longer a cordial relationship between him and the head coach.
The remarks were significant enough that Salah was initially left out of Liverpool’s travelling squad for their Champions League tie against Inter Milan, although the club did not publicly announce any formal disciplinary action.
According to Jones, Salah addressed the squad in a team meeting and offered his apologies for any disruption his public comments may have caused. Jones described Salah’s gesture as sincere and said his teammates appreciated the apology, underscoring the unity that still exists within the squad despite the earlier controversy.
Jones also defended Salah’s competitive nature, suggesting that his emotional outburst came from a deep desire to win and contribute, rather than to undermine team cohesion.
Salah’s controversial interview drew attention because it touched on his reduced playing time — he had been benched for several matches, including the 3–3 draw with Leeds United — and his frustration at seeing his role in the side diminish.
While Liverpool boss Arne Slot has played down ongoing tension and said he and Salah have moved past the situation, the episode has ignited discussion about the Egyptian’s future at Anfield.
Salah is currently focused on helping Egypt in AFCON 2025, where the national side aims to capture continental glory. Fans and pundits alike continue to monitor developments in both Salah’s club position and his international commitments.
