The Egyptian was upset that he did not lead the team to the match as the captain.

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp explained why he decided to give the captain's armband in the Champions League game against Midtylland to 22-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold rather than the more experienced Mohammed Salah.

" Yes, a player like Jordan Henderson is important to Liverpool. But, being the captain in Mainz, I did not understand how important it is for the players..

In Liverpool there is a certain rule - the one who is in the club the longest gets the armband.. If Henderson doesn't play, Milner gets it, and if not he, then Van Dijk or Wijnaldum.

Trent got the bandage because he played the longest at the club - professionally, not just in his youth career. "
