Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold were at the center of a viral training ground incident that left Liverpool fans worried about a potential rift. The pair appeared to clash ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League tie against PSG, with teammates Harvey Elliott and Ibrahima Konate stepping in to separate them.
A video of the exchange spread across social media, showing Alexander-Arnold looking visibly frustrated before Salah pushed him. The heated moment led to speculation that tensions were rising between two of Liverpool’s most influential players.
Both players have played crucial roles in Liverpool’s success over the years, helping the club secure multiple major trophies, including the Premier League and Champions League. Their strong partnership has been key to Liverpool’s attacking play.
However, the Liverpool Echo has since confirmed that the incident was nothing more than light-hearted ribbing. Sources at Anfield revealed that Salah and Alexander-Arnold were joking around after training, and there is no underlying issue between them.
Despite recent transfer rumors surrounding both Salah and Alexander-Arnold, they continue to speak highly of each other. The right-back recently praised Salah after Liverpool’s win over Southampton, calling him a “game-winner” and essential to their title push.
Salah’s record at Liverpool remains extraordinary, with 243 goals and 110 assists in 390 games. Alexander-Arnold has also been a key playmaker, registering 87 assists since breaking into the first team from the academy.
With Liverpool leading their Champions League tie against PSG and sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League, their focus remains on securing multiple trophies this season. Arne Slot’s side is in strong contention for silverware across multiple competitions.
Fans can rest easy knowing Salah and Alexander-Arnold’s so-called bust-up was just a moment of banter. Both players remain fully committed to Liverpool’s pursuit of success as they look to finish the season on a high.
