Liverpool fans were briefly caught off guard on Monday when footage surfaced of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold appearing to have a heated exchange before training.
With the Reds set to face Paris Saint-Germain in a crucial Champions League clash at Anfield, speculation quickly spread about possible tensions within the squad.
Viral Video Sparks Speculation
A short clip of Salah and Alexander-Arnold needing to be separated went viral, leaving fans wondering if there was friction between the two teammates.
The timing of the video—just before one of Liverpool’s biggest games of the season—added to the intrigue.
However, those close to the situation have since cleared up the misunderstanding.
According to The Liverpool Echo, the supposed confrontation was nothing more than friendly banter between two players who share a strong bond.
No Rift Between the Stars
Despite the video’s misleading nature, both Salah and Alexander-Arnold were later seen laughing together after the session.
