Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has admitted Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma will be difficult for him.

Salah joined the Reds from Roma in the summer and has since set the Premier League alight, notching up 31 goals in the competition.

And speaking to Sky Sports, the Egyptian revealed he still keeps in contact with his former teammates.

"It comes with more emotion," he said. "Every day I am talking to the players, yesterday I was talking to [Francesco] Totti.

"It's not easy for me, I love the club, love the city, and I know they love me, so it's not going to be easy for me. It's more emotions.

"I know them, we played together for two years, they know how I play, I know how they play, it's not going to be an easy game at all.

"But my feeling was more emotion, I was fighting for the club for two years and now eight months later have to go back!"
