'Mo Salah is an easy scapegoat!' - Egyptian media tears into Arne Slot's Liverpool decisionMohamed Salah will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the seasonCommentsSportTom Sunderland Sports writer, Maria Ortega Foreign Content Specialist and Abbie Meehan Senior Sports Writer15:29, 13 Apr 2026View 2 ImagesArne Slot has been slammed for his treatment of Mohamed Salah(Image: James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images)Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been accused of making Mohamed Salah a "scapegoat" during the club's recent slump in results. The Egyptian was left out for the Reds' 2-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain last week and wasn't called upon from the substitutes' bench as Liverpool trailed in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.‌It is thought that the forward, who is poised to depart Anfield at the end of the campaign, will receive more opportunities in Tuesday's second leg. And his prospects improved on Saturday after Salah marked his return to the starting XI with a goal in Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Fulham.‌After the opening-leg defeat in Paris, Slot clarified he didn't introduce Salah because he was concerned about the margin widening further. The move was badly received in Egypt, with some domestic media outlets portraying it as a type of humiliation.‌Local journalist Magdy Salama, of Sada El-Balad and Al Qahera News, told Foot Mercato he was convinced the reasoning is more sinister. The reporter in question said he believed Salah "deserved better treatment" and respect from Liverpool's coaching staff.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FB PAGE!
