The touchline row between Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah during Liverpool’s draw with West Ham on Saturday was caused by the winger snubbing his manager’s handshake, according to reports.

Salah started the match on the bench and was not called to be brought on until the last 15 minutes of the game, along with Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez.

The Egyptian appeared to be angry with his manager, with the pair exchanging heated words and Nunez even pushing his teammate away from his boss on the touchline.

While it was unclear at the time what the problem was, fan footage suggested that it was a somewhat cold interaction between the two before Salah went on the pitch.
Klopp put out his hand which Salah either refused or did not notice and then only offered his manager a fist bump, which led to the heated exchange.

The German then gave a warm handshake and embrace to Nunez and Gomez, which appeared to be what he was expecting from Salah.

The Sun reports Salah was annoyed with being left out of the starting XI and his lack of interaction before going on annoyed his manager.
