REVEALED: Why Salah missed post-match Liverpool celebrations

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah didn't celebrate their win over PSG because of a drugs test.

The Mirror reports there's been claims that Salah didn't then celebrate on the pitch at the end, which added to the conspiracy that the player was angry and dejected because he was substituted late into the game.

There has been some conjecture that the Premier League goalscoring record holder has become frustrated at his goalscoring form this season, and even speculation he and Sadio Mane are in competition in front of goal.

But in fact, Salah was selected for the drug testing procedure straight after the final whistle, and had to be accompanied by a tester to the area set aside.

As soon as he completed the protocol he joined the rest of the squad in the dressing room lounge area, where the players held an impromptu celebration at such an impressive, dramatic victory.
