Mohamed Salah participated in training with the Liverpool first team on Monday morning as the squad prepares for their Champions League match against Inter Milan. This comes two days after Salah expressed concerns regarding his relationship with head coach Arne Slot, stating it had deteriorated after the recent match.
Salah was seen training alongside Hugo Ekitike, and he received a hug from midfielder Dominic Szoboszlai upon arriving at the pitch.
ESPN sources report that a decision regarding Salah’s travel to Italy has not been finalized, as the team is scheduled to depart from Liverpool Airport at 3:30 p.m. GMT.
The 33-year-old forward has cast doubt on his future at Liverpool following a heated post-match interview at Elland Road on Saturday, during which he expressed frustration about being benched for the entire match in the champions’ 3-3 draw against Leeds United.
The Egypt international was not included in the starting lineup by manager Arne Slot for the 2-0 Premier League victory over West Ham on November 30 and was also a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Sunderland last Wednesday and the recent match against Leeds.
Salah has struggled this season, scoring only four goals in 13 league appearances, marking his least productive stretch since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in the summer of 2017.

Salah played a crucial role last season, scoring 29 goals in 38 league matches to help Liverpool secure their 20th league title, and he received both the PFA Player of the Year and the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year awards.
The former Chelsea player recently signed a lucrative two-year contract worth £400,000 a week at Anfield, despite interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
However, with 18 months left on his contract, Liverpool may be under pressure to sell Salah in January if he doesn’t retract his comments regarding the club and Slot.
