Egypt and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah admitted that he was worried over the Premier League's fate last season as the coronavirus pandemic forced a lengthy stoppage and cast doubts over whether the competition would be resumed.

The conflicting reports in the British media and elsewhere have caused stress at the time, Salah told BBC Sport on Saturday.

Liverpool's title was disrupted due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The Premier League was suspended in March for three months before it resumed in June, helping the Reds regain their domination to win their first title in 30 years.
