Mo Salah is ‘enemy in dressing room’ as shocking report emerges about Liverpool troubles

The source of Mohamed Salah’s discontent at Liverpool is reportedly one of his own team-mates.

Florian Wirtz has been pinpointed as the catalyst for Mohamed Salah’s fury, according to reports. The Egyptian legend sent shockwaves through the football world when he criticised Liverpool and manager Arne Slot following last Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United.

Salah, 33, accused the Reds of making him a scapegoat for their lacklustre Premier League title defence and claimed his once strong relationship with Slot has diminished. As a result of his comments, the winger was left out of Liverpool’s squad for their 1-0 Champions League victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday.

Seen as one of the role models and leaders in the Liverpool dressing room, a sensational report from BILD suggests that Wirtz’s status as the future of the team is at the heart of Salah’s animosity. The report also labelled the forward as the enemy within the Reds’ dressing room.

Salah’s relegation to the bench in the last three league games, with the German starting in all of them, has reportedly not gone down well with the competitive Egyptian. Liverpool are said to have long known that Salah possesses the biggest ego at the club but given his extraordinary record of goals and assists, it was accepted. However, the report adds that should the winger’s level of end product decline, the support he enjoys from the club will no longer be there.
