Klopp: 'Egypt problem will not affect Salah'

The star winger complained on social media that the Egyptian FA had not implemented sufficient security for the team, after a fan knocked on his hotel door in the middle of the night.

Despite the confrontation between Salah and his country's footballing governing body, the forward's club manager does not think that his performances for Egypt next week will be affected.

"I can't see that (being an issue) at the moment, he wants to play for his country, from here (his heart) and he wants to play for us. So the rest is here (in his head), you have to sort it; there, they have to sort it. That's how it is." Jurgen Klopp said.

"When was the last time Egypt had a player like him? That's how it is. They need to get used to it. So far, maybe it was not perfect. Make it perfect, and everything is fine at the end. He's a very smart person. They will solve it, I am sure."

The 'Pharoahs' will face Niger next Saturday in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations match, with them hoping their main man will be firing in the match.
