Liverpool’s game against West Ham on Saturday saw a heated exchange between manager Jurgen Klopp and forward Mohamed Salah. As Salah waited to come onto the pitch as a substitute in the second half, he added intrigue to the already intense match. The fact that Salah was benched for such an important must-win game for Liverpool raised eyebrows and became a story in itself.
Klopp seemed to say something to Salah, but the forward did not react well as they watched on as West Ham scored to make it 2-2 against Liverpool. Salah was pushed away by Darwin Nunez as Liverpool’s three substitutes of Salah, Nunez, and Joe Gomez waited to come on.
The incident left fans wondering what Klopp would say about the exchange after the game, but it did not look like a pleasant moment between the manager and the forward. It remains to be seen how this will affect Salah’s role in future games for Liverpool.
