Strootman: Roma have special tactics to deal with Salah nightmare

The Serie A side are set to lock horns with a familiar face when they take on Liverpool in an eagerly-anticipated Champions League semi-final tie

Kevin Strootman admits that Mohamed Salah has the potential to be a “nightmare” for Roma, but has warned Liverpool’s star turn that he will face “special tactics” in their Champions League semi-final.

The last four of Europe’s premier club competition has pitted a 41-goal sensation at Anfield against the side he left in the summer of 2017.
