Mohamed Salah has sent fans into speculation mode after reporting to Liverpool's AXA training centre, ahead of the match against Sheffield United tomorrow, dressed in a tuxedo.

Next for Jurgen Klopp's men is a home game at Anfield against relegation-threatened Sheffield - an encounter between numbers one and 20.

Ahead of the final preparations for the match, Salah, as seen in a post on Liverpool's X page, reported for training dressed in a tuxedo, leaving fans to come up with different reasons why he wore the outfit.

Why Salah wore a tuxedo to training

Per Liverpool.com, the Egyptian dressed as such for a hilarious promotional video as part of the club's agreement with SC Johnson for World Earth Day.

Videos titled 'Team Meeting' were shared on the club's social platforms, with Andy Robertson, Darwin Núñez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Caoimhín Kelleher, and Ibrahima Konaté also involved.

Fans react to Salah's dressing

Salah's outfit was unconventional for regular games, as footballers only turn up as such for big games, especially finals, and do so in groups.

Top players out of contract in 2025

Sports Brief also previously analysed world-class players out of contract in 2025 who could be sold this summer, if they cannot find an agreement over a new contract.

Liverpool has three such players: Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk, and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold. All three have other clubs monitoring their respective situations.
