A rift has been claimed between Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Morocco's World Cup heroes.

The Reds striker has been hounded on social media for not having made any public statement in favour of the Moroccan team in recent weeks, despite his accounts being very active.

The player, after enjoying a few days of vacation, has been back training under Jürgen Klopp with teammates who also missed out on the FIFA event.

Egypt failed to qualify for the Qatari event after being knocked out by Senegal.

Amr Adib, an influential Egyptian journalist, has his version of why Salah has not sent any message of congratulations (as far as we know) to Morocco.

This was expressed in the <>MBC program La Historia: “It seems that Mohamed Salah thinks that Morocco has not supported him in many votes.

"Salah is always with everyone, but he feels that in this case they did not support him and that is why he has responded that way."
