Liverpool have sensationally DROPPED superstar Mohamed Salah from their Champions League squad for the blockbuster clash against Inter Milan. The Egyptian King,an Anfield hero since 2017,won’t even board the plane to Italy. But despite his headline-grabbing outburst, the club is tiptoeing around any official punishment. Is this leniency or just fear?

The bombshell decision comes hot on the heels of Salah’s fiery post-match rant after Liverpool’s chaotic 3-3 run-in with Leeds United. Salah didn’t hold back, blasting the club live on TV, claiming he’d been “thrown under the bus” and exposing a “non-existent” relationship with new boss Arne Slot. He even dropped hints that his next match at Anfield might be his last,a comment that instantly sparked panic among fans and pundits alike.

Curiously, Salah was spotted training as usual ahead of the Inter showdown, looking fit and ready for action. So why the sudden snub? Club insiders whisper that the Liverpool top brass, led by Slot, made a unanimous call to bench their greatest star. Their official spin: Salah needs a “break” for the good of everyone. 

Noticeably, Liverpool brass are desperate to insist that this is NOT a punishment. They claim it’s a strategic step to “diffuse tension.” Still, the optics couldn’t be clearer: Salah’s on thin ice, and the club is scrambling to keep a lid on a rapidly escalating crisis. After all, Salah is not just any player,he’s the face of the club and a modern legend. Why risk a meltdown now, with everything on the line?

This shock omission caps a miserable run for Salah, who’s been warming the bench for three straight games,a humiliating fall from grace for a man once untouchable in the starting XI. With just five goals from 18 appearances, critics are beginning to question whether Salah’s glory days are gone. Add his explosive comments to the mix, and the rumour mill is in overdrive about his Liverpool future.

Behind the scenes, it’s chaos. The club is left juggling the egos of a fading superstar and a rookie manager in Arne Slot, all while trying to steady the ship at a crucial moment in the season. Officially, Salah’s exile is “temporary” and there’s hope he’ll return,IF he toes the line. But with fans and media in a frenzy, is this the beginning of the end for Liverpool’s Egyptian legend?

As the Reds march into Milan without their main man, the big questions hang in the air: Can Salah and Slot bury the hatchet,or is this rift beyond repair? One thing’s for sure: Liverpool’s bold move has put the football world on red alert. Stay tuned as this high-stakes drama unfolds.
