A happy Mohamed Salah was spotted in training on Thursday ahead of Liverpool's decisive game against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

It was the first time Salah was spotted publicly following his widely publicised row with Jurgen Klopp at the London Stadium on April 27.

The Egyptian winger appeared to have a go at his manager when he was introduced from the bench in their clash against West Ham on Saturday, April 27.

Salah was believed to have been disappointed with the number of minutes he had been given in the capital. Video footage showed that he avoided Klopp's customary hugs, giving the German tactician a half-hearted handshake.

The coldness from Salah wasn't taken well by Klopp, who appeared to tell him off, with the winger responding before taking to the pitch. He failed to impact the game as the Reds dropped more points in the title race.

New footage from Sky Sports has shown Salah in high spirits as he prepares for Liverpool's next game.

Can Liverpool still win PL?

Klopp's men host a Champions League-chasing Tottenham looking to keep their faint title hopes alive. They have only won thrice in their last eight Premier League games.

Liverpool are still mathematically in the title race. They are five points behind leaders Arsenal and four behind defending champions Manchester City, who have played a game less. Those slim hopes could end on Sunday if they fail to win. The reverse fixture between the two teams ended dramatically after a valid Luis Diaz goal was chalked for offside.

Salah can win his third Golden Boot in the English top flight. He scored 17 goals this season and will need to catch Haaland, who leads with 21 Premier League goals.

Egypt legend slams Salah

Sports Brief earlier reported on Egypt legend, Mohamed Aboutrika, criticising Salah over his row with his manager, Klopp.

Aboutrika was unhappy with how his compatriot carried himself in front of the cameras, adding that he ought to respect the manager.
