Jamie Carragher Issues Apology to Mo Salah as Micah Richards Left Stunned
Jamie Carragher issued a surprise apology to Mohamed Salah after labelling him a 'disgrace' following the star player's stunning outburst after Liverpool's draw against Leeds United.
On Monday, Carragher called out Salah for his seismic post-match interview following Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Elland Road.
Carragher returned to our screens on Tuesday when he appeared on CBS Sports for the Champions League action, including Inter Milan vs. Liverpool.
Arne Slot removed the 33-year-old from selection for his side's trip to the San Siro.

Without his services, Liverpool beat Inter 1-0 as Dominik Szoboszlai scored an 88th minute penalty.
After the game, Andy Robertson revealed Liverpool's dressing room reaction to Salah's interview.
And before signing off on CBS Sports, Carragher apologised to Salah for his rant on Sky Sports.
Speaking after Liverpool's win in the Champions League, Carragher began: "I was so desperate for Liverpool to win tonight, as I am every time Liverpool play, as you know.
"More so for the manager, for what he has been through in the last few days.
"I don't know him that well, I've got no real relationship with him, but he is the Liverpool manager, we know what has gone on and we don't need to go into that.
"I think what was really telling was supporters chanting his name, not when it went 1-0, but when it was 0-0."
He added: "The supporters who go home and away to watch Liverpool and know the score about what has gone on over the last few days.
"They are right behind the manager and even more so on the back of that result, it is a massive result at a very tough place to go and they needed that off the back of losing their last game in the Champions League at home.
"I am happy for him more than anything, it has been tough all season for him, I think he as a manager needs to do better in getting more results with the squad he has.
"It is a massive result for the manager and I am absolutely over the moon for him."
Carragher then issued an apology to Salah after being urged by Micah Richards.
He said: "Mo, I apologise if I have upset you. I love you as the Liverpool player, but you just need to behave yourself off the pitch."
Richards extended his hand for a handshake before replying: "That’s fair, that looked very genuine."
It remains to be seen if Salah returns to Liverpool's squad for their Premier League clash against Brighton on Saturday.
Either way, he is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15.
