Arne Slot: Myself and Mohamed Salah have moved on from Leeds interview (0:53)Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed that himself and Mohamed Salah have moved forward from the Egyptian’s explosive interview earlier this month. (0:53)
Mohamed Salah apologized to his Liverpool teammates for the frustration expressed in an interview that caused him to be dropped from Arne Slot’s squad, Curtis Jones has revealed.
Salah’s angry words after Liverpool drew at Leeds, in his third consecutive game of being named on the bench, threw his future into question.
But Slot has since insisted that he has moved past the incident, while Jones has explained what Salah told his teammates.
“He apologized to us and was like: ‘If I’ve affected anybody or made you feel any sort of way, I apologize.’
“He was positive as well. He was the exact same Mo, he had a big smile on his face and everybody was exactly the same with him.
“In the moment, it might not have come out in the right way, but it’s never been to affect the team, the staff, the manager, anybody like that.
Since Salah’s interview in the mixed zone at Elland Road, Liverpool have beaten Inter Milan in the Champions League and Brighton in the Premier League.

“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” Jones told Sky Sports.
“I can only speak from me knowing Mo, and how he is with us, and how he acted on that.
“I guess it’s just part of wanting to be a winner and I don’t think he will be the last.
“When there’s been any sort of anger from us, including myself, it’s always been from a good place.
