Arne Slot ends Mo Salah Cold War as Liverpool star prepares for dramatic Anfield return after AFCON
Before he had left for AFCON, Salah had accused the club of “throwing him under the bus" before revealing that his relationship with Slot had broken down.
Mo Salah (L) sensationally claimed that his relationship with Liverpool manager Arne Slot has now broken down. (Reuters) Liverpool manager seems to have extended an olive branch to star player Mo Salah, putting behind an apparent falling out that the duo had just a few weeks back. Slot told journalists at a press conference that he was glad to welcome back Salah from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Before he had left for AFCON, Salah had accused the club of “throwing him under the bus” before revealing that his relationship with Slot had broken down. This was around the time that the 33-year-old was benched for three matches. Salah has not started for Liverpool since November, but Slot’s comments about being happy to have him back after he plays in Egypt’s third-place match against Nigeria on Saturday, opens the possibility of a rapprochement between the star and the manager.
