Jurgen Klopp has revealed Liverpool never intended to substitute Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian scored the winner for the Reds in their 1-0 victory over Man City on Sunday.
A few minutes before his goal, the forward had reluctantly jogged over to the sidelines to be replaced after his number was shown on the board, with Liverpool introducing Darwin Nunez, Jordan Henderson and Fabio Carvalho as part of a treble substitution.
However, Klopp has revealed that Salah’s number 11 being shown was actually a mistake, and that he’d called the Egyptian over to the sidelines to instruct him about a change of role instead.
