🔗 Share this article Salah Offers Statement to Squad, Says Curtis Jones Curtis Jones has shared that Salah expressed regret to the team after the uproar from his public comments. The Fallout Salah was left out from a European match after voicing frustrations and stating his rapport with Arne Slot had deteriorated. “Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, please accept my apology.’” The head coach has refused to reveal on whether he got an explanation from the player. Looking Ahead The player stated that the squad's reaction remained positive. “Nothing about him changed, he had a big smile on his face and everybody was exactly the same with him,” the midfielder explained. Jones also implied that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “It's clear there are certain ways you can express yourself,” he said. “But if a lad’s fine to just be on the bench, then I think that’s more of an issue.” Positive Results Their results have remained strong in the matches since the interview fallout. He feels the forward's comments were never meant to destabilise the squad. “If passion has boiled over, it has consistently come from a place of caring,” he finished. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, performing and securing victories.”
