Liverpool defender Andy Robertson weighed in on Mohamed Salah's situation at the club following their 1-0 Champions League win over Inter Milan on Tuesday (December 2).

Liverpool went on to beat Inter Milan 1-0 at the San Siro thanks to a controversial late penalty from in-form midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.

After the game, left-back Robertson, 31, weighed in on Salah’s situation at the club, calling the forward “one of the greatest players to play for this club.”

He said: "A tough situation. We're talking about one of the greatest players to play for this club. I signed in the same window as him. Whatever has happened, happened. Internally, we're all together.

On Salah's future:"That'll be up to other people, it's not up to me. I love playing with Mo Salah and I hope to continue playing with him.

"We know how important being in that top eight is and avoiding a play-off. We got unlucky last season with who we drew."
