Sawt Falasteen - Salah opens door to Liverpool exit after being 'thrown under the bus'

The Egyptian was left on the bench for the third consecutive game in Saturday's 3-3 draw at Leeds and was not even introduced as a substitute by Slot.

After next weekend's home match against Brighton, Salah is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations and hinted that could be his final appearance in a Liverpool shirt should he be selected.

"I’m very, very disappointed. I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season," Salah told reporters in the mixed zone at Elland Road.

"Now I'm sitting on the bench and I don't know why. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.

"I got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am in the bench for three games, so I can't say they keep the promise. I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship. I don’t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.

"This club, I always support it. My kids will always support it. I love the club so much, I will always do. I called my mum yesterday — you guys didn’t know if I would start or not, but I knew.

"Yesterday I said to (my parents), ‘Come to the Brighton game.’ I don’t know if I am going to play or not but I am going to enjoy it.

"In my head, I’m going to enjoy that game because I don’t know what is going to happen now. I will be at Anfield to say goodbye to the fans and go the Africa cup. I don’t know what is going to happen when I am there."

Salah is Liverpool's third highest goalscorer of all time with 250 goals in 420 appearances for the club.

However, he has been a shadow of his former self during Liverpool's struggles this season.

Slot's men have won just two of their last 10 Premier League games to slip to eighth in the table."
