Mohamed Salah Extends Regret to Liverpool Dressing Room, Says Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones has revealed that Mohamed Salah apologised to the entire Liverpool squad in the wake of the fallout from his public comments.
The Fallout
He was omitted from a key Champions League match following making accusations and suggesting his connection to the head coach had broken down.
“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, please accept my apology.’”
The manager has chosen not to disclose on whether he got an explanation from the veteran striker.
Team Unity
Jones insisted that the dressing room atmosphere was unchanged. “He was his usual self, he had a big smile on his face and we all treated him normally,” he continued.
Jones also noted that a player's desire to start is a positive trait. “I understand there are different methods you can handle situations,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just be on the bench, then I think that’s a bigger problem.”
Team Form
Liverpool's form have stayed unbeaten in the games following the initial controversy. He feels the outburst were not designed to cause disruption.
“In moments of frustration, it has consistently come from a place of caring,” he finished. “It's behind us and we’re building chemistry, playing well and on a positive run.”
