Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been criticised on social media by Muslim fans after he posted a Christmas message.

Salah, who is Muslim, posted a photo of a Christmas tree and included a caption in which he talks about the conflict involving Israel and Palestine, before wishing his followers a 'Merry Christmas'.

Muslims do not traditionally celebrate Christmas but some do partake in the festivities that take place during the Christian holiday.

Salah was criticised by fans on social media last year after taking a picture of him, his wife Magi and daughters Makka and Kayan - posed in matching pyjamas in front of a Christmas tree.
