Taking to Twitter, Liverpool correspondent James Pearce has revealed what Reds star Mohamed Salah did in the tunnel immediately after suffering an injury against Brighton this afternoon.
The Lowdown: Reds secure win…
The Reds secured a vital three points away to Brighton at the Amex with Jurgen Klopp’s side keeping chase on Premier League title rivals Manchester City.
Goals from Salah and new signing Luis Diaz in either half guided Liverpool to victory, but in potentially concerning news, their Egyptian talisman was taken off through injury.
Klopp elected to remove his star winger in the 65th minute after Salah went down needing treatment, with Pearce of The Athletic sharing something interesting he did in the tunnel immediately after coming off.
The Latest: Pearce shares Salah gesture…
As per the journalist, via Twitter, Salah threw his shirt to a Brighton supporter in what was a kind gesture and perhaps an indicator of his mood after the injury.
Pearce explained: “As Mohamed Salah went down the tunnel a Brighton fan asked for his shirt, Salah smiled, took it off and threw it to him.”
The Verdict: Good sign?
The 29-year-old’s good spirits to honour the Seagulls supporter’s request could be an indicator that his knock might not be as serious as some supporters may fear.
ESPN journalist James Olley reiterates that Salah walked unaided off the pitch when substituted by Klopp, further backing that there may be some positivity.
As we await a more definitive update, Salah’s kind gesture to a home fan may well be a good sign ahead of this week’s trip to Arsenal.
