Mohamed Salah may not join Liverpool’s flight to Italy. This is for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Inter Milan. Questions surround his place in the travelling squad.

The club is holding closed-door talks. This follows the forward’s pointed remarks earlier this week. His comments have highlighted a tense situation.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on the issue Monday. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Mo Salah could be out of the Liverpool squad set to travel to Italy to face Inter on Tuesday.” Romano added, “Internal discussions are taking place after Salah’s strong words, with a final verdict to follow today.” He also mentioned, “Arne Slot will speak to the press later today.”

The Liverpool manager is expected to address the matter. He will speak to journalists this afternoon. Slot has not commented publicly so far. He prefers to keep discussions in-house. The club is assessing the fallout. This involves one of their most influential players.

Liverpool is scheduled to head to San Siro today. However, serious doubt remains. It is uncertain if Salah will be named in the group for the match.

Salah’s Future and Former Player Reactions

This situation has sparked debate. Former players have weighed in. Danny Murphy, a key ex-Liverpool midfielder, criticised Salah. He questioned Salah’s decision to go public with his frustration. Murphy believes the comments could unsettle the dressing room. They might also increase pressure on Slot.

Murphy commented, “I do think he will play again.” He continued, “I think he’ll have time to settle down.”

“Everyone will want a legend like Salah to leave on good terms,” Murphy stated. “Perhaps with a wonderful send-off at the end of the season.” He added, “Great players have had this in the past.”

“I hope it doesn’t end badly,” Murphy said. “This is because of everything he’s given.” However, he warned, “There’s always a chance if he’s adamant about leaving.” Murphy concluded, “If he’s adamant he wants to leave, we might see something in January.” He noted, “Liverpool are in charge because they have his contract.”
