Footage of Mo Salah's reaction to Jurgen Klopp's announcement that he would be leaving Liverpool has been doing the rounds after the pair's heated row on Saturday.
Following a disappointing display against Everton in the Merseyside derby defeat to Everton, Salah was benched for the lunchtime trip to West Ham.
He was preparing to enter the fray just as the Hammers equalised but was involved in a blazing row with Klopp on the touchline.
Salah and Klopp both commented on the flare-up but did not give much away as to what the reason was.

It was then speculated that the frosty exchange came after Salah did not hug his manager upon entry to the pitch.
The incident has brought about speculation surrounding Salah's future, though Liverpool expect their talisman to be around next season.
Salah has always appeared to have a strong relationship with Klopp in their seven years working together.

And in his first reaction to the January announcement that Klopp was leaving after running out of energy, the Egyptian could not hide his surprise.
"I was surprised because he didn't tell anybody," Salah said.
"There was a meeting at 10:30 and I was like, 'Why is the meeting 10:30,it's usually like 12 o'clock?'.
"They said the manager is here, his agent is here. I was like, 'Ok, that means he's got a new contract' and suddenly he says he's leaving.

"I was like, 'Why?'. Until now I didn't speak with him - I spoke to him once or twice and he explained to me and I knew his point after.
"But in that time I was like, 'Why would he leave?' Everything is fine, we're fighting for everything, why did he put that statement out now?'.
"But this is his life and who can do what he wants."
Heavily courted by Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad, Salah still has a contract at Anfield until 2025.

In a fairly quiet season by his standards, he has hit 29 goals in 49 appearances this term.
