Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has said his disagreement with forward Mohamed Salah in last weekend’s draw to West Ham has been “completely” resolved.
TV camera showsed Salah and Klopp having an argument on the touchline during the 2-2 draw at the London Stadium last Saturday. After the match, the Egypt international did not reveal the reason behind the row, instead saying: “There is going to be fire today if I speak.”

In a news conference on Friday, Klopp did not explain why the disagreement happened but insisted the pair have moved on.
“It’s completely [resolved], no problem. If we didn’t know each other for long I am not sure how we’d deal with it but we have known each other for long and we respect each other so much,” Klopp said.
“We are absolutely fine with it. It’s a non-story. But in general, the best situation is everyone is in the best place, we win games and score loads of goals and then incidents like that do no happen.”
Liverpool’s hopes of adding to their Carabao Cup title in Klopp’s final season in charge are hanging by a thread after last weekend’s draw left them five points behind leaders Arsenal with three games remaining.
The Premier League is the only trophy still available to Liverpool this season after they were knocked out of both the FA Cup and Europa League.
