Mohamed Salah Issues Statement to Squad, Discloses Curtis Jones
Jones has shared that the Egyptian forward expressed regret to the team following the controversy from his public comments.
The Fallout
The striker was dropped from a vital match subsequent to voicing frustrations and stating his rapport with Arne Slot had deteriorated.
“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” Jones revealed. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘If I’ve affected anybody, please accept my apology.’”
The manager has previously declined to comment publicly on whether he received a personal apology from the player.
Moving Forward
Jones insisted that the team's response was unchanged. “Nothing about him changed, he was smiling and it was business as usual,” he continued.
He also noted that a teammate fighting for a place is a positive trait. “It's clear there are different methods you can go about things,” he said. “But if a lad’s fine to just sit out, then I think that’s more of an issue.”
Positive Results
Liverpool's form have stayed unbeaten in the matches since the initial controversy. The player is convinced the outburst were not intended to cause disruption.
“When there’s been any sort of anger, the source has been from a good place,” the midfielder stated. “We’re past that now and we’re gelling well as a team, getting results and on a positive run.”
