Jones reveals Salah apologised to his team-mates
Egypt forward Mohamed Salah apologised to his Liverpool team-mates after his recent explosive interview, midfielder Curtis Jones has revealed.
Jones told Sky Sports in an interview that Salah had addressed the squad to explain his comments, stressing that the situation did not affect the dressing room and that the players remain united.
"Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff. He apologised to us and was like, 'If I've affected anybody or made you feel any sort of way, I apologise'. That's the man that he is," Jones said.
In his incendiary comments after the Premier League draw with Leeds United on 7 December (AEDT), the 33-year-old Egyptian lashed out at the club and coach Arne Slot, telling journalists he felt he had been made a scapegoat for the Reds' poor start to the season and suggested that he may not have long left at Anfield.
Liverpool, the Premier League champion last season, sits seventh in the standings this term with 26 points, 10 behind current leader Arsenal.
Slot said there were no lingering issues with Salah, who was omitted from the squad for its 1-0 UEFA Champions League win at Inter Milan on 10 December (AEDT).
The forward came off the bench and provided an assist in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at the weekend before leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations.
