"Salah caused a stir following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday after being left on the bench for the third successive match. The Egyptian, who is the Reds' all-time top scorer in the Champions League with 45 goals in 78 games, suggested that the club had "thrown him under the bus" this season. And ahead of welcoming Arne Slot's team to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday, Liverpool confirmed that Salah was not a part of their 19-man travelling squad."
"Chivu has since had his say on the situation, but believes that despite Liverpool's underwhelming start to 2025-26, they can still cause his team problems. "We all know what he [Salah] represents for Liverpool and for the world of football," Chivu told reporters on Monday via TMW. "It's not my concern. I know that they have players who can replace him, and that Liverpool will therefore maintain a high level as they always have done throughout their history."
Mohamed Salah was left on the bench for a third successive match after Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United and was omitted from the 19-man travelling squad for the Champions League tie at Inter. Salah is Liverpool's all-time Champions League top scorer with 45 goals in 78 games and suggested the club had "thrown him under the bus" this season. Cristian Chivu said Liverpool can maintain a high level without Salah and emphasized teams over individuals. Inter arrive on a three-match winning run and an 18-match unbeaten Champions League home streak since 2022.
