Roma defender Bruno Peres has revealed Kostas Manolas is in regular contact with Mohamed Salah ahead of their clash with Liverpool.
Roma warmed up for their Champions League first-leg meeting with victory over SPAL.
Peres said: “Kostas Manolas talks to him regularly. We warned Salah not to try anything, or he's getting beaten up!.
“In fact, Kostas won't talk to him for a while, so if he needs to give him a kicking, he won't feel bad about it! Afterwards, they can be friends again!
“We know how well he's doing at the moment at Liverpool, that he's a player who can do something different, but Roma deserve to be in the semi-final."
Peres also remarked: “I have certainly changed my mentality. I realised that if I continued the way I was before, I couldn't be a protagonist or achieve anything.
“The Coach spoke to me, so did my mother, my father and two or three people close to me and they all advised me to change. I listened and that was important, because now my work is coming out on the field."
