Liverpool boss on Huddersfield and importance of Salah’s opinion

Jurgen Klopp says that Mohamed Salah is ready to face Huddersfield tomorrow night after returning from his trip to New York City, according to LiverpoolFC.com.

Salah was recently recognised as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine, and had been in the Big Apple to attend a Gala event for the publication.

And his manager assured the media during his Thursday press conference that his star attacker is prepared for the Huddersfield clash.

“Travelling these days is no problem anymore,” said Klopp.

“It would be more of a problem if his car was broken and he had to walk from here! That’s pretty comfortable.

“I’m very proud of that because people in football we are obviously on television and in newspapers a lot, and most of the time we don’t say very smart things.

“But Mo is a very smart person and is very influential in his role as well – he’s had a couple of really good things.

“In the world at the moment it’s very important that you have a voice like Mo’s voice. It should not be his first job obviously, but it’s very important that he still has an opinion and makes that opinion public.

“So I was completely fine. We always say football is not the most important thing in the world, but in moments when you have to prove it, then you have to be there, and that means of course he can miss one session.

“Today he will be in training and everything will be fine again.”

On Salah meeting the likes of Emilia Clarke at the event, the boss added: “I saw a few pictures, he looked brilliant in his tuxedo and I saw that he met a lot of famous people. Mrs Targaryen, she was there as well.

“If he would have asked me, maybe I would have joined him, but he didn’t.

“So it was obviously a very interesting and very good experience. Now he’s back and everything will be fine.”
