Mohamed Salah's comments on Liverpool manager Arne Slot over the weekend have led to him being left out of the squad for the UCL match against Inter Milan, and his future at the club is uncertain.

Many divided reactions online have followed after Salah's words and his exclusion from the Liverpool squad for the match against Inter Milan today.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher reacted with a rant towards Salah on Monday Night Football before the Wolves vs Manchester United Premier League match yesterday.

Carragher was on the CBS UCL Today Show and expressed his desire to see Liverpool win over Inter after the Salah-Slot situation. On the table was Thierry Henry, who was asked for his opinion in regards to the Salah and Slot situation at Liverpool.

Henry did not think Salah did the right thing and revealed that he felt similar feelings towards his former coaches, like Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger.

The Arsenal legend points out that he never publicly expressed his disappointment at being benched by his former managers.

Thierry Henry on Mohamed Salah

Thierry Henry thinks that what Salah said over the weekend was wrong and thinks that the timing was poor since Liverpool has not been doing well over the past couple of weeks.

Henry said, "We're talking about a moment in time that I think he got wrong. You do not talk about your personal situation openly when your team is struggling. You do it in the dressing room...You have to protect your team at all costs."

The former Arsenal and Barcelona star talks about one time being told to sit on the stands, but mentions that he never openly expressed his frustration with the situation under Pep Guardiola.

Henry said, "When I was at Barcelona, I went away from the team. They put me in the stands. Did you hear me talking about it? I can understand the frustration. I don't understand the how and the when. That doesn't make any sense to me; that was wrong."
