Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool future is uncertain after he publicly accused the club of benching him and “throwing me under the bus,” prompting a former player to warn the Egyptian that he is “not Lionel Messi” and is overstepping his status.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has hinted at a conspiracy after being benched for the second time in three games, following the club’s disappointing 3-3 draw at Leeds.
An “explosive rant” saw the Egyptian forward declare: “I have done so much for this club… Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why,” adding, “It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus.”
Salah’s comments drew fire from former Reds striker Stan Collymore, who delivered a sharp reality check.
Collymore suggested Salah “has almost tricked himself onto elevating himself to the untouchable status of Messi or [Cristiano] Ronaldo…
Mo isn’t them,” asserting that the long-held principle at Anfield is that the “club trumps the individual.”
