Salah had an immediate impact scoring 52 seconds after he was brought on as a substitute in the second half.
The goal was the Egyptians contribution to a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the International Champions Cup.
His manager, Jurgen Klopp then addressed questions regarding his shoulder in his postmatch news conference.
“I said before the game, it’s not that he has problems — he has no problems,”
“He only needs to get used to all the different things.
“We do a lot with the shoulder to strengthen the muscles and all that stuff. Usually, you don’t do anything with the shoulder but in rehab, you feel this and feel that, and you need to learn that’s normal.
“He is in that moment but he has absolutely no issues, I was not concerned about it otherwise he wouldn’t have played.
“He came in and scored after pretty much 35 seconds. He had a big impact together with Sadio [Mane] and Dom [Solanke], and the midfield with Marko [Grujic], Pedro [Chirivella] and Ben [Woodburn] played fantastic. Both full-backs were then really involved in the offensive situations, which we didn’t have too much in the first half. Both centre-halves were there.
“Nat Phillips on this level is surprised by himself, that’s really cool; Raggy [Ragnar Klavan] did well, and Caoimhin [Kelleher] had a nice save. So it was really a nice second half which helped us a lot because we all see it’s still there, it’s all good.
“We only need to keep on working and make sure that in two weeks we have fresher legs than tonight.”
