Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp hopes club and Mo Salah can benefit AFCON heartbreak

Published on: 09 February 2022

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes both the club and Mohamed Salah can benefit from the Egypt international's Africa Cup of Nations heartbreak.

Salah's side lost to Reds team-mate Sadio Mane's Senegal on penalties in Sunday's final, with the current Premier League top-scorer not even getting the chance to take a spot-kick.

He was back in England the following day and training with the Liverpool squad on Tuesday as he looks to get straight back into action against Leicester on Thursday.

'He is happy to be back but he is disappointed as well, massively so. We spoke and we will see. He will deal with it,' said Klopp.

'(Is there) Greater determination for Mo? I am not sure that is human. I don't think there's a lot of space for more determination in Mo's mind. He will benefit off it and we will benefit off it.'

Mane is expected to return on Wednesday evening after extended celebrations in his homeland but will not feature against the Foxes.
