Mohamed Salah injury: Was Sergio Ramos to blame? Lampard and Ferdinand give verdict

Published

That is the opinion of BT Sport pundits Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand.Liverpool star Salah tangled with Ramos midway through the final in Kiev.

As the pair fell to the turf, Salah landed awkwardly on his shoulder and was forced off minutes later in tears.

But Chelsea legend Lampard says there was no blame on the Real Madrid defender’s part, claiming it was pure bad luck for the Egyptian forward.

“No, I don’t think so (there is any blame),” Lampard said.

“Listen, he’s got close, which any defender should do.

“Sometimes when you do make contact you do interlink arms.

“I think it was more unfortunate in the end in the way he fell.”

Ramos was filmed laughing with an assistant referee while Salah was being substituted by Liverpool .

But Manchester United legend Ferdinand doubts it was anything to do with the incident.

“I wouldn’t associate the two things there,” he said.

“What I would say is I thought it was very good defending from Ramos.

“I don’t think he really meant to do that.”
