Salah has stated that his relationship with manager Arne Slot has been strained and that he feels he deserves to play for the team due to his contributions to the club. However, Souness disagrees, pointing out that Salah has not been performing well this season, with only five goals in 18 appearances.

Souness believes that Salah's comments about not having to work hard in training are particularly concerning, as he feels that the player is not living up to the standards expected of him. He also notes that Salah's numbers are "very, very poor" and that he needs to take responsibility for his own performance.

Salah's time at Liverpool has been marked by controversy in recent weeks, with many fans looking for someone to blame for the team's struggles. As he prepares to miss out on the Inter Milan match, Salah may be considering a move away from the club in the January transfer window.

Despite scoring 250 goals in 420 appearances for Liverpool, Salah's relationship with the club has been damaged, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for the Egyptian player.
