Manager and forward clash as Mo Salah was waiting to come on as a second-half substitute at The London Stadium; Liverpool drew 2-2 with West Ham to leave their title hopes in tatters; Salah said after the match: 'If I speak there will be fire'
The incident occurred while Salah, who had been dropped from the starting XI following a much-criticised performance in Wednesday's Merseyside derby, was waiting to come on with 11 minutes remaining at The London Stadium.
Klopp turned to Salah on the touchline after a missed West Ham chance, and the pair exchanged words before Salah was pushed away by Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez.
Mo Salah told reporters as he walked through the post-match mixed zone declining interview requests: "If I speak today there will be fire.
Afterwards Klopp refused to divulge what had sparked the incident, but added: "We spoke already in the dressing room. For me, that's done.
Asked if Salah felt the issue was closed, Klopp said in his press conference: "That's my impression, yes."
Jamie Carragher posted on X: "The only reason a manager would be unhappy in this situation, is the player took too long to be ready to come on."
