Jurgen Klopp has ruled out the idea of resting Mohamed Salah for Liverpool’s game with Brighton this weekend, claiming it would be “a crime” to do so.
Salah is the Premier League’s top goalscorer, with 10 goals in nine Premier League appearances so far this season, including a historic hat-trick at Manchester United last weekend.
And he will be key again on Saturday when Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield, looking to maintain an unbeaten run which stretches back 22 games in all competitions.
Asked in his pre-match press conference whether there was any temptation to rest Salah with a Champions League game against Atletico Madrid, and then a tricky trip to West Ham, on the horizon, Klopp recoiled in mock astonishment
He replied: “So, forget pretty much the first part of your questioncompletely, please! To rest players against Brighton? That would be a crime!
