Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has launched a blistering attack on Mohamed Salah, branding the Egyptian superstar a "disgrace" following a shock public fallout that has left Liverpool’s season hanging by a thread.

The rebuke, delivered on Monday Night Football, comes just hours after Salah was sensationally axed from the squad facing Inter Milan tonight—a direct consequence of his explosive claim that he has "no relationship" with manager Arne Slot. For Kenyan fans who have worshipped the "Egyptian King" for nearly a decade, the civil war at Anfield marks a heartbreaking potential end to a golden era.

'Choreographed' Sabotage?

Carragher did not mince words, accusing Salah of manipulating the media to strengthen his negotiating position. The pundit argued that Salah’s decision to stop and speak to reporters after Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United was a calculated move, not an emotional slip.

"I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game," Carragher said on Sky Sports. "Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst. I don't think it was. I think whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone... it's choreographed with his agent to cause maximum damage."

Carragher pointed out that Salah, who earns a reported £350,000 (approx. KES 58 million) a week, has rarely stopped for interviews in his eight years at the club. "He’s chosen a time when everyone at the club feels like they’re in the gutter to go for the manager," Carragher added.

The Leeds Flashpoint

The controversy stems from Salah’s frustration over being benched for three consecutive matches, including the stalemate at Elland Road. In a raw post-match interview, Salah claimed he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club and that promises made in the summer had been broken.

The timeline of the fallout has been rapid:

• Saturday, Dec 6: Salah starts on the bench vs. Leeds; Liverpool draws 3-3. Salah gives explosive interview.
• Monday, Dec 8: Arne Slot confirms Salah is dropped from the Champions League squad.
• Monday Night: Carragher labels the interview a "disgrace."
• Tuesday, Dec 9: Liverpool prepares to face Inter Milan without their talisman.

An African Icon Isolated

For the 'LFC Kenya' supporters branch and millions of football lovers across East Africa, this public undressing of an African icon is uncomfortable viewing. Salah has long been the flagbearer for African excellence in the Premier League. However, the consensus among analysts is that no player—not even the Egyptian King—is bigger than the club.

Manager Arne Slot has drawn a line in the sand, stating that Salah's exclusion from the trip to Milan was a necessary disciplinary measure. "It is a clear indication of my thoughts," Slot noted, refusing to look "weak" in the face of player power.

While details regarding Salah's future remain scarce, the writing appears to be on the wall. If this is the end, it is a messy, undignified conclusion to one of the greatest Premier League careers ever witnessed.
