Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hit out at the treatment of Mohamed Salah during the penalty shootout with Egypt. The Reds forward missed a spot-kick against Senegal earlier this week as his country failed to qualify for this year’s World Cup, but the 29-year-old appeared to have lasers shone in his face before he took his penalty.
Sadio Mane and Senegal qualified for the competition, which is being held in Qatar, with the Liverpool star scoring the decisive penalty against Egypt, just as he did to see his county win the Africa Cup of Nations. The pair are now back on Merseyside and ready for the hectic fixture run-in.
The Reds are back in Premier League action this weekend against Watford, hosting the Hornets at Anfield in the Saturday early kick-off. Should Liverpool win, they will temporarily move above Manchester City to top spot in the league table before their rivals play Burnley a couple of hours later.
