Jurgen Klopp on Mohamed Salah 'revenge' talk ahead of Champions League final: 'No one has to worry'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has downplayed talk of wanting revenge against Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final, and said that midfielders Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara have given the club a major fitness boost by returning to training.

Forward Mohamed Salah said last month he wanted to play Madrid in Saturday's final rather than Manchester City in order to take "revenge" for the 2018 final in Kyiv, which saw Madrid run out 3-1 winners while the Egypt international played just 31 minutes due to sustaining a shoulder injury in a controversial coming together with Sergio Ramos.
