During Liverpool’s match against West Ham, Salah was not included in Klopp’s initial starting lineup. As he prepared to enter the pitch as a second-half substitute, he engaged in a heated argument with the German manager. Following the 2-2 draw, Klopp attempted to minimize the incident, stating that it had been resolved between them in the dressing room. However, Salah’s subsequent comments to the media contradicted this, revealing that tensions were far from resolved.

After the game, Carragher shared his perspective on the situation, urging fans not to take sides. In a post on X, he stated, “Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp are both Liverpool legends. We don’t need to take sides! Salah is frustrated and angry with Jurgen that he’s not playing and at that moment didn’t want to fully embrace the boss, Jurgen understandably took exception.”

“Mo was daft with his comment in the mixed zone but let them sort it out and enjoy the last few weeks together. They’ve been a massive help to each other in all that’s been achieved at the club!”

For Klopp, his final season at Liverpool hasn’t unfolded as anticipated, with the club falling short of their quadruple ambitions. Eliminations from the FA Cup and Europa League, coupled with disappointing Premier League results, may see Liverpool end the season with only the Carabao Cup title. As for Salah, speculation suggests that this could be his last season with the club, as the 31-year-old forward is reportedly considering a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

It remains uncertain whether the issues between Salah and Klopp will be resolved by the time Liverpool faces Tottenham Hotspur in a week’s time on Sunday, May 5. Additionally, it’s unclear if Salah will be included in the starting lineup for that crucial fixture.
