Mohamed Salah grabbed the headlines over the weekend for the wrong reasons.

The Egypt star clashed with his Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, during their Premier League clash against West Ham.

Former Egypt international, Mohamed Aboutrika, has blasted the 31-year-old for the heated argument.

The two exchanged words when Salah, dropped from the starting eleven, was getting ready to come on with 11 minutes left in their frustrating 2-2 draw against West Ham at the London Stadium.

They greeted each other before they exchanged words. The Egyptian was pushed away by Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez, who were coming on alongside Salah, per Sky Sports.

Aboutrika criticised the actions of the Liverpool forward, per KingFut.

“Both of them are two club legends, and this tense relationship should never be public. I feel very upset to see this happen. Salah is like my younger brother, and a player should never behave like this in front of cameras. This is not a good ending to such a historical career he’s had there.
“No matter how big a player’s star power is, a player and a manager are not the same,” he added.

The incident comes amidst Liverpool's crumbling title challenge. They will need miracles to have a chance of winning the title as the league reaches its climax.

Salah reacts to spat with Klopp

Sports Brief earlier reported on Salah's reaction to his clash with Klopp after Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw with West Ham.

The Egyptian refused to share the nitty-gritty of the argument, saying there "will be fire" if he did.
