Alisson Becker backs Arne Slot as Mohamed Salah fallout deepens

Alisson Becker supports Arne Slot’s decision to leave Mohamed Salah out of Liverpool’s squad, adding fresh tension to an already heated situation surrounding the Egyptian’s recent outburst.

Salah openly criticised Liverpool’s technical choices after the draw with Leeds, expressing frustration over consecutive spells on the bench.

Days later, Alisson addressed the controversy and made his stance clear, siding with the manager’s disciplinary approach.

The Brazilian goalkeeper did not avoid the topic when pressed by reporters.

He stated that Salah understands the consequences of his actions and the responsibility he carries as one of the club’s senior figures.

Alisson insisted that the decision to omit the forward comes directly from behaviour the player must now reflect on.

He stressed that his long-standing friendship with Salah does not prevent him from acknowledging the reality of the situation.

“Mo knows exactly why this happened,” he said, adding that awareness and accountability matter at a club with Liverpool’s standards.

Alisson highlighted the closeness between them, a bond forged through shared highs and lows over several seasons.

He values that relationship, but he insists that discussions of this nature stay between them.

He plans to speak to Salah privately rather than engage in public debate or add to the media storm.

The remarks extend the fallout of Salah’s comments about feeling abandoned and betrayed by the club.

His future remains uncertain, with the Africa Cup of Nations approaching and Arne Slot still searching for consistency in Liverpool’s season.

As speculation intensifies, Alisson’s intervention signals unity behind the manager at a time when Liverpool cannot afford internal fractures.

The club finds itself under pressure on several fronts, and Slot’s firm stance appears to have strong backing within the dressing room.
