Klopp Says He, Salah 'Are Fine' After Star Went to Brother's Wedding, Contracted COVID-19

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Friday he has dealt internally with Mohamed Salah following the Egypt forward’s attendance at his brother’s wedding in Cairo prior to returning to a positive test for the coronavirus.

Klopp refused to elaborate on whether Salah was the subject of any disciplinary action.

“It is just between Mo and me,” he said. “We did that already and we are fine.”

However, the German coach set out his personal stance on attending celebrations of family and friends during the pandemic. He said a friend’s birthday party was arranged for a particular date over the summer to enable him to attend.
