Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that any tension with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been settled after a recent disagreement on the sidelines.
During Liverpool’s 2-2 stalemate with West Ham, a moment of discord between the departing manager Klopp and Salah occurred, further dampening their already slim championship aspirations.

Salah, unexpectedly omitted from the initial squad, engaged in a fervent dialogue with Klopp prior to substituting in following Michail Antonio’s goal in the 77th minute.
The altercation concluded with Darwin Nunez, another substitute, separating Salah from the dispute before they both joined the match. Post-match, when journalists approached Salah for comments, he remarked, “There’s gonna be a fire today if I speak.”
When asked about the exchange in his pre-game press briefing ahead of Sunday’s game against Tottenham at home, Klopp said the issue had been addressed.
“It’s completely [resolved], no problem. If we didn’t know each other for long I am not sure how we’d deal with it but we have known each other for a long and we respect each other so much,” said Klopp, whose farewell tour has turned sour since he announced his decision to step down.
“We are absolutely fine with it. It’s a non-story. But in general, the best situation is everyone is in the best place, we win games and score loads of goals and then incidents like that do no happen. Mo to start?
“Three games to go and I change my habits completely? You want the whole line-up?”
While Klopp will leave this summer, Salah could also be on his way, with the Egyptian star continually linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Klopp added: “You have to get used to it not being my subject. He is incredible but I should not speak about that, other people will decide that.
“I am the wrong person to talk about this. I just try to help the basis for the future of the club. These decision are for others.”
