Manager Arne Slot made a decision to bench Salah, who had recently signed a new contract with the club in April. This move has been met with controversy, as Salah has been a standout player for the team for years. Despite this, Liverpool has managed to perform relatively well without Salah in the starting lineup, beating West Ham 2-0 and drawing with Sunderland 1-1.

However, the frustration was clear to see when Salah was left on the bench during a tight match against Leeds, which ended in a 3-3 draw. In an interview after the match, Salah expressed his disappointment and feeling of being "thrown under the bus" by the club. He stated that he has done a lot for Liverpool in the past few years, especially last season, and is now finding himself on the bench without a clear reason.

Salah's comments have raised concerns about his future at the club, and speculation is growing about potential transfer destinations if he were to leave Liverpool. While there is no concrete information about his next move, it is clear that the situation is uncertain for the Egyptian forward.
