Liverpool star Mohamed Salah will be "gutted" by two key summer transfer decisions, according to a former Reds striker.

The first is the controversial departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, and the second is the decision to replace him with Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5m.

Saunders suggests that Salah will miss his understanding with Alexander-Arnold on the pitch.

"Every left-back Salah plays against, they know what he does.

"I know Frimpong is a good signing.

The injury meant the 24-year-old couldn't join the Netherlands squad, though he's anticipated to return for the Reds following the international break.

Taking to social media following the match, Carragher wrote: "Nine points from nine is a great return for LFC after playing two of their toughest games, that were both drawn last season.

"Who will start the season, we don't know, but it's just good to always have two good players that are probably both capable of being in the XI."
