Liverpool's Star Issues Statement to Liverpool Dressing Room, Reveals Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones has shared that the Egyptian forward said sorry to the group of players after the controversy from his recent interview.

What Happened

The striker was dropped from a key Champions League match following voicing frustrations and stating his rapport with Arne Slot had deteriorated.

“Mo is his own man 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 chosen not to comment publicly on whether he got an explanation from the veteran striker.

Looking Ahead

The player stated that the squad's reaction stayed normal. “Nothing about him changed, he was smiling and it was business as usual,” the midfielder explained.

The midfielder also noted that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “I get that there are specific approaches you can handle situations,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just be on the bench, then I think that’s more of an issue.”

Positive Results

Liverpool's form have been impressive in the games following the situation. Jones believes the forward's comments were not designed to destabilise the squad.

“If passion has boiled over, it’s always been from a place of caring,” the midfielder stated. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, getting results and securing victories.”
