Mo Salah has kept schtum on his Liverpool bust up with Jurgen Klopp for his own good, warning "If I speak there will be fire."
The Egyptian was preparing to come on for the Reds while they were 2-1 up away to West Ham. And the TV cameras caught a flashpoint between player and manager, with Salah seemingly angered by something his gaffer had said as fellow sub Darwin Nunez played peacemaker. Michail Antonio then powered home a header to draw the Hammers level to further dent the Anfield club's dwindling title hopes.
Klopp and Salah spoke again in the dressing room, with the departing German insisting that as far as he was concerned, that matter wa snow. He said: No. But we have spoken already in the dressing room. For me it is now done." And while Salah wasn't for sharing any details, he let it be known as he walked through the post-match mixed zone that he clearly had his own thoughts on the exchange, but preferred not to share them to stay out of trouble.
Declining interview requests, Salah said: If I speak today there will be fire.” The draw in London leaves Liverpool two points behind league leaders Arsenal and one behind Man City in second. However, the Gunners have a game in hand while reigning champions City have two, leaving Klopp's men as outsiders in what has been a tight title race.
