Jurgen Klopp Says Vincent Kompany Nearly Put Mohamed Salah 'Out for the Season'

Mohamed Salah would be "out for the season" if Vincent Kompany had hit him harder, according to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

The German spoke to Sky Sports (h/t Thomas Bristow of the Daily Mirror) after his Reds were beaten 2-1 by Kompany and Manchester City in the Premier League on Thursday night. It's a first league defeat of the campaign for leaders Liverpool, allowing City to cut the gap at the top to four points.

Leroy Sane's 72nd-minute winner cancelled out Roberto Firmino's equaliser after Sergio Aguero had given City the lead five minutes before the break.
