Furious Salah dodges press after Klopp clash
Mohamed Salah refused to talk to the media after a sensational touchline clash with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, saying there would be "fire" if he spoke.
Liverpool's Premier League title hopes are hanging by a thread after a 2-2 draw at West Ham United, and much of the discussion after the game centered on a flare-up between Salah and Klopp in the latter stages of the contest.
Salah, who was dropped from the starting XI for the visit to London Stadium, was involved in a furious confrontation with Klopp prior to being substituted on, with the pair having to be separated by Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez.
After the game, Salah made a comment as he walked through the media area, refusing to conduct interviews with the press.
"If I speak today there will be fire," Salah stated as he refused to discuss the incident.
Klopp was also not very forthcoming on the confrontation after a draw, which leaves his team two points off leader Arsenal and a point behind second-placed Manchester City having played at least a game less than both of its title rivals.
When asked about the Salah dispute, Klopp said: "I'm not in the mood to talk about that to be honest or look at that at all."
Klopp has just three games left of his Liverpool tenure, and despite the success he has endured at Anfield, including a Premier League title and UEFA Champions League glory, it's at risk of ending in a damp squib.
Klopp hopes his team can avoid that disappointing conclusion by finding their form again over the remainder of the campaign.
"We had to win here, we knew that, and we didn't," Klopp continued. "Now we have a little bit more time between now and the next game.
"We try to get the boys ready again and we will go again."
