Liverpool hero Aldridge: Klopp must drop Salah

Liverpool hero John Aldridge has told manager Jurgen Klopp not to consider Mohamed Salah untouchable.

Aldridge says Klopp must consider dropping the Egyptian great.

He wrote for the Liverpool Echo: "Mo is Mo, but you should be able to take him out of the team when he is not playing well - which we don't. Even if he is injured or suspended, who is going to go on the right side? We haven't seen anyone fill in there. We have plenty of options, but who is going to take his place if and when that happens?

"The number of options Klopp now has in attack is a good problem to have, particularly as we're short in other areas We've had more injuries than any other club by a mile this season, for whatever reason.

"I'm sure they have tried to work out what that is the case. Can that just be coincidental? I don't know. It is strange that we seem to get them more than everyone else."
