Egypt legend Mohamed Aboutrika claims his former teammate Mohamed Salah is not happy in Liverpool.
Salah recently took part in an interview with Spanish publication AS where he revealed that he was disappointed not to have worn the armband in Liverpool's UEFA Champions League clash against FC Midtjylland a fortnight ago.

The 28-year-old started on the bench against Crystal Palace this past weekend but came on to good effect after bagging two goals in the 7-0 win, and Aboutrika has now claimed he personally spoke to Salah, who is reportedly not happy with his situation at Anfield.

"I called Salah about his situation in Liverpool and he is upset, but that would never affect his performance in the field," Aboutrika told beIN Sports.
"I know that Salah is not happy in Liverpool, he told me the reasons why he is not happy but they are secrets and I cannot talk about it in public. One of the reasons that made Salah angry was that he was not the captain against Midtjylland."
Salah is Liverpool's top scorer with 16 goals in 21 matches across all competitions this season, including a Premier League-high 13 in 13 for the reigning champions.
