Mohamed Salah Issues Regret to Teammates, Discloses Curtis Jones
Jones has revealed that the Egyptian forward said sorry to the group of players after the uproar from his public comments.
The Fallout
Salah was left out from a vital match after making accusations and suggesting his relationship with manager had soured.
“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, please accept my apology.’”
Arne Slot has refused 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 was unchanged. “He was his usual self, he had a big smile on his face and we all treated him normally,” he continued.
The midfielder also implied that a teammate fighting for a place is a positive trait. “I understand there are certain ways you can handle situations,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just not start, then I think that’s more of an issue.”
Positive Results
The team's performance have stayed unbeaten in the games following the situation. The player is convinced the outburst were not designed to harm the team.
“In moments of frustration, the source has been from a place of caring,” Jones concluded. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, performing and on a positive run.”
