Salah Issues Apology to Teammates, Discloses Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones has shared that the Egyptian forward apologised to the group of players in the wake of the fallout from his public comments.

What Happened

Salah was left out from a key Champions League match following voicing frustrations and stating his connection to the head coach had broken down.

“Salah is an individual and he can say his own stuff,” Jones revealed. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, please accept my apology.’”

The manager has previously declined to reveal on whether he was apologised to from the 33-year-old forward.

Moving Forward

He emphasized that the dressing room atmosphere was unchanged. “He was his usual self, he had a big smile on his face and it was business as usual,” the midfielder explained.

Jones also noted that a competitor wanting to play is preferable. “I get that there are specific approaches you can handle situations,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just not start, then I think that’s concerning.”

Positive Results

The team's performance have stayed unbeaten in the games following the interview fallout. Jones believes the Salah's words were not intended to harm the team.

“If passion has boiled over, the source has been from a desire to win,” the midfielder stated. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, playing well and on a positive run.”
