Thiago Alcantara says two Liverpool stars spend so much time in the gym

Liverpool ace Thiago Alcantara has revealed just how much Reds teammates Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane love training in the gym.

Salah and Mane are part of one of the most dangerous front lines in world football, and have been in sensational form for Liverpool this term.

The Egypt international has hit new heights this season, with a staggering 17 goals and seven assists in 18 appearances.

Meanwhile, Mane has nine goals and one assist from 18 Premier League and Champions League games this season.

“When I leave, they’re still there”

Thiago and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain featured on this week’s Kop Kids feature on Twitter, where they were interviewed by two Liverpool youth players.

One of the questions they were asked was: “Who is the most likely to spend the most time in the gym?”

Oxlade-Chamberlain replied: “Sadio Mane or Mo Salah.”

Thiago added: “When I go (to the gym), they’re already there, Mo and Sadio.

“And when I leave, they’re still there… they love it!”

Salah and Mane certainly put the hours in on the training ground and in the gym to hone their skills and be in peak physical condition.

Indeed, both continued to perform admirably last term even with all of Liverpool’s issues.

And with the Merseyside derby coming up on Wednesday night, both will hope to maintain their great form in such a key game.
