Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that forward Mohamed Salah is back to his best after a stuttering start to the season, according to a report on Goal.
The Egyptian international has found his goalscoring touch in recent weeks, with goals in two successive Premier League matches.
He found the back of the net in the victory at Anfield against Cardiff City and also got his name on the scoresheet in the 3-0 victory away to Watford last weekend.
The 26-year-old only found the net three times in his first 11 matches of the season, but Klopp believes his overall performances are back to a very high level. He said:
Since before the last international break it was completely obvious in each session. It clicked again. He’s there.
The body is back 100 per cent – his physical things he can rely on. [It is] not about the goalscoring, just about overall performance.
The only thing was his body needed time to adapt. [He was] still a world-class player, still a threat in a game, but in the scoring situations not the same calmness, coolness.
Of all the teams, we had the longest season with Real Madrid. After that, they all went to the World Cup. Egypt went out a little earlier but Mo played a World Cup being 94 or 95 per cent fit because of the shoulder.
He then had two to three weeks off. That is actually nothing. The first three weeks of holiday for a football player after such an intense season you do not even feel rest.
Salah will be hoping to inspire the Reds to victory tonight in the crucial Champions League group stage match against Paris Saint Germain in France.
