'With Mo everything is fine,' says Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has backed Mohamed Salah by saying that "with Mo everything is fine".

"With Mo everything is fine. Yes, he lost the ball before we conceded the second goal (versus PSG) because it was a very intense game and things like this happen constantly," said Klopp during the press conference.

"But, you don't always concede a goal after that. This time we did. It was not the reason for taking him off, of course not. I am fine with him. I think he is fine with me and with the situation," he added.

The Egyptian star striker has not scored in his last three Liverpool outings and some observers have suggested he looks short of full fitness and sharpness.

"At the end of the season we will see how it was, not at the beginning. The start was good for us as a team, and for him as well. Was it like he finished last season, especially in the Premier League? No. But, he needed time last year, like we all needed time and it will take time this year," said Klopp.

DuringChampions League final in May againstReal Madrid, Salah suffered a shoulder injury andhe is still wearing some strapping around the area.

While Klopp said that Salah is physicallyfit and there are no injury concerns.

"The most important thing is physically he is in a very good shape, which helps," said Klopp.

"Salah is really ready to work for the team and it is a normal situation to have times where you don't score," added the German.

"He is just taking his time this year, just like he did last season."

The former AS Roma forward has scored twice in five games, just one fewer than at this stage last season.
