Jurgen Klopp expects PFA Player of the Year Mohamed Salah to be given a rough time by the Roma team in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie at Anfield.
The 41-goal forward faces his old club for the first time since his £38million move last summer as Liverpool host their first semi in the competition in ten years.
Italian defenders have a reputation for their uncompromising approach and Klopp alluded to that when discussing Salah's situation.
But he also thanked the Serie A club for helping make the Egypt international the star he has grown into since arriving in England.
