“Salah is an individual and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “His apology was clear and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, I'm sorry.’”
The head coach has previously declined to comment publicly on whether he was apologised to from the veteran striker.
Moving Forward
The player stated that the dressing room atmosphere was unchanged. “He was his usual self, his demeanour was positive and it was business as usual,” Jones added.
He also suggested that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “I understand there are different methods you can go about things,” he said. “Yet, should someone be happy to just sit out, then I think that’s concerning.”
Team Form

“If passion has boiled over, it’s always been from a desire to win,” he finished. “We’re past that now and we’re gelling well as a team, performing and on a positive run.”
