Mo Salah 'told-off' young Liverpool fan who knocked himself out waving to football star

Mo Salah 'told-off' the young Liverpool fan who knocked himself unconscious after running into a lamp-post while trying to keep up with his car.

Eleven-year-old Louis Fowler and his 10-year-old brother Isaac were waiting outside Melwood training ground on Saturday afternoon hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes as they left.

When Salah's Bentley pulled out, Louis ran after the car in the hope of getting a wave. But in his excitement, he ran straight into a lamp-post and ended up unconscious on the ground.

Mo turned his car around and drove back to the close where the boy's parents live to check the youngster was OK and to pose for pictures with the starstruck brothers.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain , Louis said: "I had a really bloody nose, someone took me home back to my front garden and I just saw Salah's car by our house.

"I was still spaced out so I didn't really know what was happening, but he got out of his car and posed for a picture."

Asked what Salah's reaction was to his injured nose, Louis said: "He was like 'Why are you running like that?'."

Kate then asked whether Salah was telling him off, to which Louis jokingly replied: "Yeah sort-of."

Louis was taken to Alder Hey childrens' hospital to be checked over following the incident but, apart from having to have his nose re-set, he was none the worse for the experience.
