Speaking on TNT Sports, Gerrard said:

“Wow. Listen, that is extremely interesting. Mo Salah doesn’t really speak much, and he doesn’t tweet, and he certainly doesn’t tweet like that.

“So, I think he’s sending a message to the outside that things in that Liverpool dressing room are not right. The identity’s gone, and it’s really hurting him to see it in front of his own eyes.”

Gerrard’s comments are likely to add even more scrutiny to Slot’s position as Liverpool head into a crucial summer following a turbulent campaign.

With several teammates rallying behind Salah, Slot’s time at the club could be coming to an end.
