LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has voiced strong frustration after being left on the bench for the entire match during his team’s draw with Leeds on Saturday, calling it one of the most surprising and disappointing moments of his career.
Speaking after the game, the forward said this was the third time this season he has started on the bench something he believes has never happened before.
Salah admitted he is “very, very disappointed,” especially considering his long standing service and contribution to the club.
As a player who has consistently delivered goals, assists and leadership, he expressed shock at the sudden change in his role.
Looking back on last season, Salah highlighted how much he gave to ensure Liverpool stayed competitive. From crucial goals to tireless performances, he said he expected his commitment to be recognized and valued differently.
Now, however the Egyptian forward says he feels sidelined without explanation.
“I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why,” he said, adding that the situation has left him with more questions than answers.
Salah went on to suggest that the club may have left him exposed to criticism.
According to him, it feels as though “the club has thrown me under the bus,” placing him in a position where he is taking blame he does not deserve.
He further hinted at internal issues, saying it seems clear that someone behind the scenes wants him to take all the blame for the team’s struggles.
This comment has sparked conversations about possible tensions within the club’s management.
The forward also opened up about promises made to him during the summer.
He stated that he was given assurances about his role and future at Liverpool assurances that have not been fulfilled so far.
Despite expecting to feature regularly, Salah has now been benched for three matches, leaving him feeling misled.
The gap between what he was told and what has happened on the pitch has intensified his concerns.
The unfolding situation raises doubts about Salah’s future at Anfield.
With emotions running high and trust seemingly shaken, questions are emerging about whether the relationship can be repaired.
