JAKARTA - Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, doesn't seem so worried about Mohamed Salah's condition, who has recently struggled to score goals. According to him, it is a normal situation.

Mohamed Salah last scored on 12 March. That too through the white dot. While the goals he scored from open play were created on 16 February.

That means, it has been six games Salah has not scored a goal. In fact, in the last 11 matches, he could only score three goals from the penalty spot!

"This is a completely normal thing that Mo goes through. We talk about all the physical demands he has faced in the last few months. So this is completely normal," Klopp told the club's official website.

"I really liked the game against City, he played a very, very good game of football. It's only a matter of time when he scores goals as usual."

"Unfortunately in small moments like these, we know what if you're unlucky as a striker you don't even try. It's been pretty close now for a few times and that moment will surely come. I'm very happy with the performances he's shown in the last few days, " he continued.

The German manager also thinks that it is not necessary to invite Salah to talk about this issue. After all, continued Klopp, he had often discussed with Salah during training.

"We talk, but not about the situation you create. No, we talk about normal things: what he has to do in the game, what the game plan is and all this kind of stuff, where we try to expose the opponent," said the former Borussia Dortmund coach.

However, Klopp stressed, this discussion was carried out not only with Mohamed Salah. "But it's completely individual for all the players."
