🔗 Share this article Liverpool's Star Extends Statement to Squad, Says Curtis Jones Curtis Jones has shared that the Egyptian forward said sorry to the group of players after the uproar from his televised remarks. The Incident The striker was dropped from a European match following criticising the club and suggesting his rapport with Arne Slot had soured. “He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘Should anyone feel slighted, I apologise.’” The manager has previously declined to comment publicly on whether he got an explanation from the veteran striker. Team Unity The player stated that the team's response stayed normal. “He was his usual self, he had a big smile on his face and it was business as usual,” Jones added. The midfielder also noted that a competitor wanting to play is a positive trait. “I understand there are certain ways you can express yourself,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just be on the bench, then I think that’s concerning.” On-Field Response The team's performance have been impressive in the games following the situation. He feels the forward's comments were never meant to destabilise the squad. “In moments of frustration, the source has been from a good place,” Jones concluded. “That chapter is closed and we’re building chemistry, playing well and on a positive run.”
