Salah shows form, Reds hard at work

-

Liverpool players were hard at work in training yesterday as Premier League resumes on teams on June 17.

Jurgen Klopp put his squad through their paces at the Melwood training complex while top-flight sides held a video conference call regarding the latest plans for Project Restart.

Mohamed Salah took the good weather as an opportunit­y to strip off and flex his physique, with lockdown evidently not harming his strict workout regime.

On Wednesday, every club unanimousl­y agreed on a return to contact training to implement the next stage of a return to action. The Reds sit 25 points clear at the top of the table while Bournemout­h, Aston Villa and Norwich City are in the relegation places.

The Reds could clinch it with victory in their first game back should second-placed Manchester City lose to Arsenal.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I just think this current three, a bit like the Liverpool team really, it just clicks.

“If you lifted individual players and put them into different teams within the Premier League would they be as good without each other?

“It is debatable and probably arguable that you would say no.

“This team just gels so well with each other and I think that the attacking players benefit so much from the fullbacks that are really attacking players.
