🔗 Share this article Salah Issues Statement to Teammates, Reveals Curtis Jones Jones has revealed that Mohamed Salah said sorry to the group of players after the controversy from his televised remarks. The Fallout The striker was dropped from a European match following voicing frustrations and stating his rapport with Arne Slot had deteriorated. “He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” Jones revealed. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, I'm sorry.’” Arne Slot has previously declined to reveal on whether he was apologised to from the 33-year-old forward. Looking Ahead He emphasized that the squad's reaction remained positive. “He was the exact same Mo, he had a big smile on his face and it was business as usual,” the midfielder explained. The midfielder also implied that a competitor wanting to play is preferable. “I get that there are specific approaches you can express yourself,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just be on the bench, then I think that’s more of an issue.” On-Field Response Their results have remained strong in the games following the situation. Jones believes the forward's comments were not intended to cause disruption. “In moments of frustration, the source has been from a good place,” he finished. “We’re past that now and we’re gelling well as a team, performing and starting to win games.”
