Liverpool's Star Offers Apology to Teammates, Discloses Curtis Jones

Jones has shared that the Egyptian forward said sorry to the group of players in the wake of the controversy from his televised remarks.

What Happened

The striker was dropped from a European match after criticising the club and stating his rapport with Arne Slot had broken down.

“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘Should anyone feel slighted, please accept my apology.’”

The head coach has refused to comment publicly on whether he was apologised to from the player.

Team Unity

He emphasized that the squad's reaction was unchanged. “He was the exact same Mo, he had a big smile on his face and we all treated him normally,” Jones added.

Jones also suggested that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “I understand there are certain ways you can express yourself,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just not start, then I think that’s a bigger problem.”

On-Field Response

Liverpool's form have stayed unbeaten in the games following the initial controversy. He feels the Salah's words were not designed to destabilise the squad.

“In moments of frustration, it’s always been from a place of caring,” he finished. “It's behind us and we’re gelling well as a team, performing and starting to win games.”
