Salah Issues Statement to Teammates, Reveals Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones has shared that Mohamed Salah apologised to the group of players in the wake of the uproar from his recent interview.
What Happened
He was omitted from a key Champions League match following making accusations and suggesting his relationship with manager had broken down.
“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “His apology was clear and was like: ‘If I’ve affected anybody, I apologise.’”
The head coach has previously declined to disclose on whether he was apologised to from the veteran striker.
Team Unity
The player stated that the team's response remained positive. “Nothing about him changed, his demeanour was positive and it was business as usual,” he continued.
He also implied that a teammate fighting for a place is a positive trait. “It's clear there are certain ways you can go about things,” he said. “But if a lad’s fine to just be on the bench, then I think that’s concerning.”
Team Form
The team's performance have stayed unbeaten in the games following the interview fallout. Jones believes the forward's comments were not designed to destabilise the squad.
“If passion has boiled over, it’s always been from a good place,” he finished. “We’re past that now and we’re building chemistry, playing well and on a positive run.”
