Following Liverpool’s concession of a goal to West Ham, Salah and Klopp engaged in a heated argument.
Despite initially trailing 1-0 due to a Jarrod Bowen header, Liverpool managed to stage a comeback with goals from Andy Robertson and an own goal from Alphonse Areola.
However, Michail Antonio’s header equalized the score at 2-2, leading to the tense exchange between Salah and Klopp.

Salah, who had been benched for the game following a disappointing performance in the 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat to Everton, was preparing to enter the match just as West Ham leveled the score.
While awaiting his entry, Salah became involved in a heated and animated exchange with Klopp. Fellow substitute Darwin Nunez stepped in to diffuse the situation.
The exact content of the conversation between Salah and Klopp remains undisclosed, but Salah appeared visibly discontent during the warm-up after being omitted from the starting lineup.
Despite Nunez’s intervention and efforts to steer Salah away, the former Chelsea winger remained visibly upset.
