Mohamed Salah has been filmed smiling alongside his Liverpool team-mates in training, despite clouds still hanging over his weekend dispute with Jurgen Klopp.
The striker had an ugly touchline row with Klopp when they drew 2-2 with West Ham on Saturday.
Klopp left Salah out for the crucial visit to London and the Egyptian striker was furious at the decision, even when he was brought on in the 79th minute.
According to this short video of today’s training, it seems that the Egyptian is in a good mood.
When Klopp was replacing him, Salah responded by waving his arms pointing down the field and then pointing at the retreating Klopp.
Mo Salah smiled at Liverpool training and appeared to put his dispute with Jurgen Klopp behind him.
Salah and Klopp had a heated argument as he prepared to face West Ham.
The striker continued to berate the outgoing Liverpool manager and only stopped his display of discontent when striker Darwin Núñez intervened.
It was bad PR during the final weeks of Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool and left fans confused about the breakdown in relations with Salah, however brief.
Salah issued an alarming warning to journalists after the match: “If I speak, there will be fire!”
Klopp, meanwhile, was reserved. When asked if he would share what he said on TNT Sports, Klopp replied: “No. But we already talked in the locker room and for me that’s done.”
With Liverpool preparing for a match against Tottenham on Sunday, the Reds need to put any problems behind them and it would appear, at least from this short clip, that they have done so.
While Salah has scored 24 goals in an overall good season, his form has faltered since his injury at the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has only scored two goals in his last eight Premier League games.
There has been speculation about Salah’s future, but the club are confident he will stay when the final year of his contract arrives.
“If I speak, there will be fire,” Salah told reporters after the match in a worrying response.
Jurgen Klopp did not want to give details about the discussion when interviewed by TNT Sports
According The AthleticLiverpool bosses are still planning for Salah to be part of the team next season, with the club hoping he will stay this summer.
Salah has reportedly given “no indication of wanting out”, while it was claimed there was “no suggestion of internal concern” following his outburst against Klopp.
The 31-year-old is Liverpool’s top scorer this season with 24 goals in 41 games, including 17 in the Premier League.
Salah has been a driving force behind their quest for success in four competitions this season.
Liverpool lifted the Carabao Cup in Klopp’s final season but their Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League hopes were dashed by a dip in form in recent weeks.
Salah’s future will be one of the biggest decisions facing Arne Slot, with the Feyenoord boss expected to be named Liverpool’s new manager.
Slot has been tipped to succeed Klopp following an extensive search for a successor led by Michael Edwards, chief football executive of owners Fenway Sports Group.
He will join a new structure led by Edwards and sporting director Richard Hughes.
Salah did not seem very happy to take a place on the Liverpool bench for the second time in the last three Premier League games.
Salah is among the stars who will enter the final year of their contract next season, along with captain Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool still have a chance to win the Premier League title, but it is a tall order.
The Reds are five points behind league leaders Arsenal with three games remaining, and Manchester City could move a point ahead of the Gunners tonight.
