If I Speak, There Will Be Fire - Salah refuses to explain heated clash with Klopp

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has refused to comment on his heated exchange with manager Jurgen Klopp during the Reds' 2-2 draw against West Ham United. 

The Egyptian striker was surprisingly benched for the crucial Premier League clash before coming on to engage in a furious argument with Klopp in the 79th minute on Saturday.

Salah, who is Liverpool's top scorer this season, walked through the mixed zone after the game, declining all interview requests and making a cryptic remark about the potential fallout if he were to address the incident.

"If I speak today, there will be fire," the Liverpool legend stated moments after the match against the Hammers according to a post by Fabrizio Romano.

The heated moment between the two Liverpool icons has gone viral on social media, with fans and pundits alike speculating about the nature of their disagreement as reported by Pulse Sports Nigeria.

Klopp's decision to start Salah on the bench came as a shock, with the manager's tactics and team selection coming under intense scrutiny following the dropped points at the London Stadium.

The draw means Liverpool have fallen further behind in the PL title race, and the rift between Salah and Klopp will only add to the pressure on the Reds' manager to find a way to get his team back on track.

Salah's refusal to comment on the incident only serves to heighten the intrigue, with the striker's cryptic warning suggesting that there is more to the story than meets the eye.

As Liverpool's season hangs in the balance, the relationship between Klopp and Salah will be closely monitored in the coming days, with the club's supporters desperate for a resolution to the apparent tension between their two key figures.
