Salah has been omitted from Liverpool’s Champions League squad to face Inter over his astonishing rant on Saturday, in which he claimed that the club had thrown him under the bus in recent weeks.
The Athletic report that the call taken by sporting director Richard Hughes in conjunction with the club’s ownership and head coach Arne Slot who has been ruthless with the out of form winger in recent weeks.
The 33-year-old trained with his teammates earlier on Monday but will not feature against Inter, something that does not faze Chivu who believes Liverpool have the quality to fill his spot.
"Liverpool is one of the most successful teams. They just won the Premier League.
“They had a good start and then a decline, which is normal. They have players capable of understanding the moments and being ready for the games that matter, and tomorrow is one of those."
"Momo is important on a world-class level, but these are not problems that concern us. It’s not my concern," Chivu stated. "I know that they have players who can replace him, and that Liverpool will therefore maintain a high level, as they always have done throughout their history."
“We’re talking about teams, not individuals. That is why we have to worry about what the group does, not about individuals. They have a lot of quality."
Salah started on the bench in Liverpool's last three matches after a poor start to the season which sees him with five goals in his 18 appearances.
The 13th-placed Reds have claimed nine points from their opening five games of this season's tournament and travel to the San Siro on Tuesday night. Liverpool are aiming for a fourth successive win over an Italian team in Europe in what will be a tough test away from home.
