Mo Salah 'Will Leave Liverpool' After Damning Moment Spotted Against Brighton

Liverpool have been told that Mohamed Salah could have already played his last game for the club ahead of him heading to AFCON.

Salah made headlines last week after doing an explosive interview following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United.

The Egyptian stated that he had next to 'no relationship' with manager Arne Slot and also accused Liverpool of 'throwing him under the bus' amid the Reds' tough run of poor results.

On the back of his comments, Salah was left at home as Liverpool recorded a vital 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

However, on Saturday afternoon, Salah was back in the Reds squad as they beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 at Anfield.

Having started on the bench, the 33-year-old was brought on in the 26th minute and went on to provide the assist for Hugo Ekitike's second goal.

At the end of the match, Salah was serenaded by The Kop as he looked on emotionally while clapping the fans.

As footage went viral on social media, body language expert Darren Stanton has claimed that Salah could well have played his final match for Liverpool.

When asked if Salah had played his last game for Liverpool, Stanton told OLBG: "Yeah, basically, Mohamed Salah looked very, very emotional after the Brighton game. I think it was almost like his epitaph. I don't think we're going to see him again, if I'm honest. Yes, he had tears in his eyes when he was clapping along with the crowd, so I think that's his swan song, his kind of farewell.

"I think even though it's not formal, I think he knows in his heart that he's never going to be in that situation and walk on that pitch again. So I do think he's going to be going and not coming back."

He continued: "Salah had an expression, it was sadness and disappointment because, obviously, things hadn't gone differently. Principally, he was quite sad, quite emotional, had tears in his eyes, and facially, he was flashing microexpressions of sadness."

However, Salah's teammate, Ibrahima Konate, appeared to disagree.

When he was asked about whether Salah's Liverpool career is done and dusted, the Frenchman said: "Personally no, I don’t think so. Today you saw how much he loves this club. What happened with him, you have to understand the frustration sometimes felt by players who have such a career, who have done so much.

"He is a player that everyone loves, the coach loves, he loves the coach, everyone loves each other at this club."
