A disagreement between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp arose over a touchline handshake snub during Liverpool 2-2 draw against West Ham. Klopp expected a handshake with Salah before he came on as a substitute but it was initially missed causing tension. While they eventually exchanged a fist bump, the incident left both parties unhappy.

Salah also snubbed Klopp at the end of the match, shaking hands with David Moyes instead. Klopp attempted to downplay the situation but tensions lingered. Both Salah and Klopp are expected to address the issue when the team reconvenes after a couple of days off.
