Jones has revealed that the Egyptian forward expressed regret to the entire Liverpool squad after the controversy from his televised remarks.
The Fallout
Salah was left out from a vital match subsequent to voicing frustrations and suggesting his connection to the head coach had soured.
“Salah is an individual and he can say his own stuff,” Jones told Sky Sports. “His apology was clear and was like: ‘Should anyone feel slighted, I apologise.’”
The head coach has previously declined to disclose on whether he got an explanation from the player.
Team Unity
The player stated that the dressing room atmosphere remained positive. “He was the exact same Mo, he was smiling and everybody was exactly the same with him,” the midfielder explained.
The midfielder also noted that a competitor wanting to play is preferable. “I get that there are different methods you can handle situations,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just sit out, then I think that’s more of an issue.”
Positive Results
Their results have been impressive in the matches since the interview fallout. He feels the forward's comments were not designed to destabilise the squad.
“When there’s been any sort of anger, the source has been from a place of caring,” Jones concluded. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, getting results and securing victories.”
