The Liverpool midfielder has revealed that the Egyptian forward apologised to the team in the wake of the controversy from his televised remarks.
The striker was dropped from a vital match subsequent to making accusations and claiming his rapport with Arne Slot had soured.
“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” Jones revealed. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘Should anyone feel slighted, I'm sorry.’”
Arne Slot has previously declined to disclose on whether he got an explanation from the 33-year-old forward.
Jones insisted that the squad's reaction was unchanged. “He was his usual self, he was smiling and we all treated him normally,” Jones added.
The midfielder also implied that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “I understand there are certain ways you can express yourself,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just not start, then I think that’s concerning.”
Their results have stayed unbeaten in the games following the interview fallout. He feels the Salah's words were not intended to cause disruption.
“When there’s been any sort of anger, it has consistently come from a good place,” he finished. “It's behind us and we’re gelling well as a team, playing well and securing victories.”
