Croatia defender Dejan Lovren has claimed his former Liverpool teammate Mo Salah is '100 per cent' jealous that he is at the World Cup.
Speaking ahead of Croatia's Group F opener against Morocco on Wednesday, the 33-year-old also expressed his disappointment that close friend Salah's Egypt failed to qualify for the tournament.
'100 per cent. I would also be jealous. He said he will support me, it is nice to hear that. To be honest I'm sad he didn't qualify, he was so close. But unfortunately (Sadio) Mane was better.'
With Salah as their talisman, Egypt came agonisingly close to qualifying for the finals in Qatar, facing off against Senegal in a play-off back in March.
