Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he is unconcerned by Mohamed Salah and his dip recent dip in form.
The Egyptian superstar has not been able to hit the heights since he went to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and suffered a hamstring injury.
He spent some considerable time on the sidelines but has not been able to produce his best form ever since, netting six goals in all competitions including the penalty in Thursday’s 1-0 win at Atalanta which was not enough to progress to the Europa League semi-finals.
“I am not particularly concerned. That’s what strikers do, that’s what happens to strikers, that’s how it is. We have to go through this, he has to go through that,” Klopp said after the game
“He is one of the most experienced players we have in the squad. We will go through that but that’s pretty much all. It’s not that Mo didn’t miss chances before in his life, that’s a part of the game.
“The penalty was super-convincing, a super penalty, then the next chance, that was obviously unlucky but it is not the first time he missed a chance like that.
“I will not make a big story of it, what you make of it I obviously have no influence on obviously, but no, I am not particularly concerned.”
