Jurgen Klopp

's decisions are in Salah’s favor.

Barnes claims that it is natural for a good player to always want to be on the pitch and play every possible minute, but Liverpool have resolved the issues between the player and the coach, and such events will soon be forgotten;

“Well, a lot of players aren't happy to come off - and why would they?!”

Barnes said

“And someone like Mo Salah, who loves to play, and who loves to score goals, he most definitely does not like to be substituted.

“He would be frustrated because of course he wants to stay on for the entire game. But it’s important to remember that only a week ago Salah tested positive for COVID, so it’s in everyone’s interest that he takes it easy just now to ensure he regains his fitness and strength, and that’s all that matters.

“That is also why he’s not playing all the time, as the club wants to protect him to ensure he gets back to normal.

“At the end of the day, Klopp knows what’s he’s doing and more importantly, he’s got his players best interests at heart.

“So although Salah was disappointed coming off, the players support Klopp and the decisions he makes but that doesn’t mean that the players won’t show their emotions - it would be strange if they didn’t.

“But equally, I can’t see this being an issue nor a problem. To be honest, it’s probably forgotten about already.”
