Van Dijk Clip Fuels Speculation of Dressing-Room Backing
A short clip posted on X shows Van Dijk seemingly telling nearby staff or media figures, “let him say something,” a line many fans believe was directed toward Salah before his fiery comments.
The timing of the leak has only intensified speculation, even though it’s unclear when the footage was actually recorded or how much Van Dijk knew about Salah’s intentions.
Reports from journalist James Pearce suggested that Liverpool’s hierarchy expected Salah to voice frustrations, but the severity of his statements caught everyone off guard. According to those familiar with the situation, several players had already sensed Salah’s mood shift after learning he’d be benched for the Leeds match.
Salah didn’t hide his disappointment either. He claimed he felt “let down” by decisions made in the summer, adding that he has now been left out of the starting XI for three consecutive matches despite promises made to him.
These details have prompted suggestions online that certain influential dressing-room figures, including the captain, may be sympathetic to Salah’s position—though such claims remain unverified.
What Comes Next for Liverpool?
Liverpool’s current form isn’t helping the situation. The 3-3 draw at Leeds marked yet another late defensive collapse, continuing a worrying pattern this season.
Despite the turbulence, Fenway Sports Group are said to remain fully supportive of Arne Slot, viewing Salah’s bench role as temporary rather than a long-term shift.
With interest from Saudi and MLS clubs expected to resurface after AFCON, clarity is needed quickly—starting with whether Salah will travel to Milan and how united the squad truly is behind their head coach.
For now, every word, clip, and rumour is under the spotlight as Liverpool navigate one of their tensest weeks in recent years.
