Mohamed Salah reported for Liverpool training on Tuesday morning with his future at the club in question.

The Egypt forward was left out of the Reds’ travelling squad for the Champions League tie away to Inter Milan on Tuesday night following his extraordinary outburst after the Premier League match at Leeds on Saturday.

He instead reported for training at the club’s Kirkby base on Tuesday morning and posted a picture of himself in the training ground gym.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said on Monday evening he had “no clue” whether Salah would play for the club again after his tirade at Leeds.

Asked whether Salah had played his last game for Liverpool, Slot replied: “I have no clue. I cannot answer that question at this point in time.

“I am a firm believer that there is always a possibility to return for a player. I can leave it with that I think.”

Salah signed a new contract in April which made him the club’s highest-paid player, but said following the Reds’ match at Leeds that he had been “thrown under the bus” by the Merseyside club.

Salah said he was “very, very disappointed” to have been named among the substitutes for the third-successive match, and added: “I got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am on the bench for three games so I can’t say they keep the promise.

“I said many times before that, I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden we don’t have any relationship.

“I don’t know why but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.”

Salah is due to be absent from the team later this month in any case, with the Africa Cup of Nations getting under way on December 21.
