Steven Gerrard asks Liverpool superstar to step in and resolve issue between Mohamed Salah and the club

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes Virgil van Dijk needs to step in and resolve the issue between Mohamed Salah, the club, and Arne Slot. The Englishman said that the fans should be suffering because of the feud.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Gerrard said he respects Salah's frustration at not playing, but the Liverpool star made the mistake of throwing people under the bus. He added that the Egyptian needs to step back and talk things out with the manager and said:

"He’s obviously really upset he’s not playing, which I respect. He won’t sit out of the team, which I respect. The couple of lines about throwing people under the bus [is] wrong. He needs to reverse a little bit away from that. He needs to deal with that with the manager. This needs Virgil van Dijk to go, 'How are we sorting this out for the benefit of not the club, or the team, but the fans?'"

Gerrard went on to say that Salah is going through a phase that most players have faced in their careers. He understands the comments, but compared it to his situation and that of Luis Suarez during their time at Anfield and said:

"I’ve seen this and I’ve lived it. I lived it with [Luis] Suarez when he fell out with Brendan [Rodgers]. I’ve seen it all. I’ve been there myself from a personal point of view. I did the Salah statement in 30 seconds against [Man] United when I got sent off. So no-one’s perfect. We’ve all had head losses as players. We’ve all done emotional things."

Salah was dropped from the UEFA Champions League squad for their 1-0 win over Inter Milan this week after his explosive comments about Liverpool and Arne Slot.

Mohamed Salah will regret his comments about Liverpool, says Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard believes Mohamed Salah will not be pleased with his comments about Liverpool and Arne Slot. He claimed that the Egyptian should sort things out with the club and said:

"And I know in time when this all calms Mo will go, ‘I shouldn’t have said that, I maybe shouldn’t have said that, I was a bit emotional, I was a bit hasty.’ But at the end of the day, Liverpool football club needs Mo Salah, back playing well, back scoring goals, because he is the best player, the best scorer and he will help them get out of this. If this goes on this is bigger than what we all know and what we see."

Salah will be traveling to join the national team next week after the Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
