'He's just having a bad patch': Lineker defends Mo Salah

Gary Lineker shared his thoughts on Mo Salah, who has scored just two league goals since February, an unusual dry spell for the Liverpool forward.

"I suspect there’s nothing wrong in the mind of Mo Salah, he’s just having one of those little spells that all strikers have," Lineker said on The Two Robbies podcast.

"He’s been prolific, he’s been prolific again this season. He’s just having a bad patch at the wrong time.

"He’s come back from a couple of injuries and that can make a difference. I omit him from any real criticism, but he has been cold in the past few weeks, but that happens to all strikers."

Salah is still Liverpool's top scorer in the league with 17 goals and 9 assists. His injuries this season have definitely disrupted his rhythm, not to mention Liverpool's form as a team being a little stop-start.
