Mohamed Salah’s first post since explosive interview draws heavy fan reaction
Mohamed Salah, the star forward of Liverpool FC, received a flood of messages from supporters after making his first public social‑media post since a confrontational interview in which he accused the club of “throwing him under the bus.”
Background Why the controversy erupted
The fallout began after a dramatic 3–3 draw away at Leeds United, the third consecutive match in which Salah, 33, was left on the bench.
Infuriated, Salah publicly suggested that certain individuals at Liverpool were undermining him, and said his relationship with manager Arne Slot had completely broken down.
That interview triggered widespread speculation over whether Salah, despite recently extending his contract through 2027, still has a future at Anfield.
What happened on social media
Salah’s first post since the interview was a simple gym picture taken inside Liverpool’s training centre, a signal, many say, of his professionalism and fitness amid rumors.
The post set off a huge reaction. Many fans pleaded for reconciliation, warning him not to make things “personal” and urging him to rebuild bridges with club and teammates.
Some fans tweeted messages like: “You ruined it Mo, time to apologise mate… Liverpool and its real fans will forgive you” and “Come back to your senses, apologise to the coach…”
What comes next, Uncertain prospects under Slot
Since the interview, Salah has been omitted from the squad for Liverpool’s upcoming Champions League clash with Inter Milan, despite having trained with the rest of the team.
On whether Salah will return to action, Slot said simply: “There is always a possibility,” but added he cannot guarantee anything, leaving the forward’s future at the club in serious doubt.
Even though Salah has a long‑term contract until 2027, the public fallout and mounting pressure mean that many now question whether that deal will survive this season.
What this means for Liverpool and Salah
Salah’s remarks, and the fan reaction to his social‑media post, have exposed deep rifts at Liverpool at a time when the club is already under pressure. Whether this ends with a public apology and reconciliation, or a full-blown separation, remains unclear.
