Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made a stunning revelation noting that Mohamed Salah was not 100% fit at the start of the season.
Salah made a perfect debut campaign for Liverpool since joining from AS Roma, scoring 32 league goals last season. The Egyptian also guided his side to the UEFA Champions League final where they lost 3-1 to Real Madrid but he suffered a shoulder injury. The injury also kept Salah out of the opening games of the FIFA World Cup as his country Egypt crushed out in the group stages.
In a press conference ahead of the Newcastle United clash on Wednesday 26th December, Klopp revealed that Salah struggled with injury in the opening games of the season, “At the start of the season, part of Mo’s body was not perfect. If you work in an office, if your shoulder is not 100 per cent and it is not your writing hand, then you’re okay.
“But if you’re a footballer, you have to wait until it’s 100 per cent. But we knew he was still a world-class player but we had to wait a little bit. It’s all good.”
