Jurgen Klopp takes Mohamed Salah off penalties after Huddersfield spot-kick miss - names odd replacement




Jurgen Klopp suggested Mohamed Salah will no longer be taking penalties for Liverpool after he missed one against Huddersfeild.

The Egyptian forward had the chance to put the Reds 1-0 up from the spot on the weekend but failed to beat Jonas Lossl in the Terriers' goal.

The missed penalty had little impact on the game itself, as Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Georginio Wijnaldum all found the back of the net to ensure a 3-0 victory for Liverpool.



"I thought it made sense after the Egypt penalty - obviously the pressure is bigger in Liverpool than in Egypt to qualify for the World Cup," said the German.

Klopp added that he has another person in mind for the job, despite him struggling to nail down a place in the first team in recent months.

"I'm not sure that he is anymore… I think Daniel [Sturridge] would have been a safe number in this group of players."
