Liverpool's Mohamed Salah receives a telling-off from his mum after photo goes viral

Mohamed Salah may be a star in Liverpool’s eyes, but he appears to be in the bad books with his mother.

The Egyptian winger has been on a break from football while his club teammates are on international duty.

Holidaying in an exotic beach location, Salah shared a sweet photo to fans carving ‘You Will Never Walk Alone’ into the sand.

On his return back to the UK,  the Liverpool ace surprised children at Dubai English Speaking School, holding an hour-long press conference and answering questions about his football career, before hosting a penalty shoot-out for the kids.

This was followed by filming for an Adidas promotional campaign in which Salah was pictured hugging a woman.

Naturally, the picture circulated on the internet as the 26-year-old is not traditionally seen hugging his female fans.
