Liverpool Trend: Why was Salah excluded from the winning picture?

Mohamed Salah, the star of Liverpool, continues his beloved habit of taking "selfies" with his teammates after every victory. However, this festive atmosphere was absent this time, with a familiar face missing, Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Although Arnold scored the decisive winning goal in his team's match against Leicester City on Sunday evening, he was not included in the post-match dressing room photos, a scene that raised many questions, especially with the increasing news about his possible departure to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Arnold's absence was not just a coincidence, as fans linked it to his decision not to renew his contract, which is ending soon, unlike his teammates Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have signed until 2027.

The Reds' fans felt disappointed and described his potential move to the Spanish giant as betrayal, especially since Arnold is considered one of the club's own, having grown up in it since childhood and spent 20 years of his life there.

On the other hand, Arnold has not issued any clear statement about his future, opting for a noticeable silence and celebration that seemed to many like a farewell.

While stars like Van Dijk, Dominic Solanke, Divock Origi, and Diogo Jota appeared in the usual "selfie" photos, Arnold remained distant from Salah's lens, which some interpreted as a subtle message from the Egyptian star rejecting his teammate's behavior.

Liverpool is one step away from securing their 20th English Premier League title, the fifth in just five years. A win against Tottenham or a stumble by Arsenal in the next round is enough for them to clinch the coveted title.

All of this is happening amidst tense atmospheres within the club's walls, with cautious anticipation from the fans about what will happen with Arnold, who may have played his last matches in a Liverpool shirt.
