Salah's shoulder woes a factor early in Liverpool's season - Klopp

Mohamed Salah toiled with the after effects of his shoulder injury at the start of this season, says Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

A deft finish from the Egypt forward opened the scoring for Liverpool in the Premier League leaders' 2-0 win at Wolves last time out and moved him on to 14 goals for the campaign in all competitions.

Five of those have come in the past two weeks and Klopp believes the 2017-18 PFA and Football Writers' Player of the Season is now firing on all cylinders – not that this was always the case in the months after his ill-fated grapple with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in the Champions League final.
