Liverpool Squad made fun of Salah in the dressing room after agent cryptic tweet

Earlier this month Salah - the Premier League's leading goalscorer - was removed by manager Jurgen Klopp with half-an-hour still to play in the match, with the player looking less-than pleased as he made his way off.

And the Athletic has revealed Abbas' outburst saw Salah become the subject of some light ribbing from his fellow players on the training ground.

But despite some apparent fractious moments, The Athletic's report indicates Salah is still a 'popular' figure amongst the Liverpool squad.
