Mohamed Salah has been told to expect an “unfriendly” welcome from his ex-colleagues when Liverpool take on his former club Roma tonight.

Salah comes up against his old team-mates for the first time when Anfield hosts the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
The 25-year-old has been in outstanding form since moving to Liverpool for £36.9million last summer, with 41 goals in 46 games seeing him named PFA Player of the Year on Sunday.
And Reds boss Jurgen Klopp believes Salah will be afforded a special reunion by his former team-mates.
“Coming up against your old club is pretty normal in football, it happens constantly,” he said. “Players change clubs and managers change clubs, like I had with Dortmund two years ago (when they faced Liverpool in the Europa League).
“I’m sure Mo has followed the whole season for Roma and he had a special time there and became the player there that we now have here, big credit to the staff at Roma as they are part of his development.
