Jurgen Klopp makes a chilly choice and gives Mohamed Salah a “new” Liverpool jersey number.

Liverpool quickly put Tuesday’s humiliatin I amg loss to Manchester United behind them and came back to upset Crystal Palace in Singapore on Friday to earn their first preseason victory.

Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah scored a goal in each half to give the Reds a comfortable 2-0 victory, but Jurgen Klopp’s team suffered a setback when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was injured just before halftime. The England international joins Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, Joe Gomez, Calvin Ramsay, and Caoimhin Kelleher in the injured list after the ailment was later determined to be a hamstring problem.

and Caoimhin Kelleher was a spectator.

Klopp employed 32 players against the Eagles, altering his starting lineup completely at halftime, and Liverpool won, taking home the Standard Chartered Singapore Trophy. Of course, you already knew that. Here are some highlights from the Reds’ second preseason game that you might have missed away from the main action.

Thanks to football greats like Pele, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi, the number 10 jersey is the most coveted in the sport. But now that Sadio Mane has departed for Bayern Munich, Liverpool’s number is empty.

For the first time in Premier League history, the jersey went unclaimed at the beginning of a season. Over the past few years, great players have worn it, with the Senegalese inheriting it from Philippe Coutinho and two of its most illustrious previous owners in Michael Owen and John Barnes.

When the teamsheet was released, Mohamed Salah was identified as wearing the number rather than his usual number 11, therefore there was almost another Liverpool number 10 in Singapore.

Given that he wears the Egypt shirt, it wasn’t out of the question that the forward had switched. And given that Mane picked it up after Coutinho left, was the 30-year-old forward imitating his former partner?

Unfortunately, Salah’s claim to the most famous of shirt numbers was not a surprise on the Standard Chartered Singapore Trophy final teamsheet. Instead, it was a simple typo, as video from the locker room was shortly posted on the club’s social media pages and showed his name on his customary shirt.
