EX-LIVERPOOL DEFENDER CARRAGHER SLAMS SALAH

FORMER Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher labelled Mo Salah “a disgrace” after the Egypt star’s stunning outburst at Reds baas Arne Slot.

Salah said he had been “thrown under a bus” and had no relationship with Slot after he was left on the bench for last Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Leeds.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher wysed: “I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game.

“Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst. I don’t think it was. I think whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone, which he has done four times in eight years at Liverpool, it’s choreographed with his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position.

“He’s chosen this weekend to do this now, and he’s waited I think for a bad result... everyone involved with the club [feeling] like they’re in the gutter, and he’s chosen that time to go for the manager and maybe try to get him sacked.”

Although he only signed a nuwe contract in April, Salah hinted he might have played his last game for Liverpool as he prepares to jet off to the African Cup of Nations after their Premier League clash with Brighton at Anfield on Saturday.

Salah has been linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League and Carragher added: “What he’s done off the pitch, I think the club have made the right decision in terms of him not going abroad [to face Inter Milan on Tuesday]. Whether he will play for Liverpool again, I don’t know.

“I hope he does, because he’s one of the greatest players we’ve ever had, but if you continue like that, and statements like that, if he doesn’t play, who knows.”
