Manager Mark Hughes: 'Stoke City won't focus on Mohamed Salah'

Hughes: 'Stoke won't focus on Salah'

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has suggested that there is more to Liverpool than in-form winger Mohamed Salah.

Since joining the Merseyside giants in the summer, Salah has netted 14 goals in 18 appearances in all competitions, and the Egyptian currently sits at the top of the scoring charts in the Premier League.

However, despite acknowledging the threat offered by Salah, Hughes has insisted that his side cannot afford to place too much focus on the former Roma man.

The 54-year-old told reporters: "We are facing a player in Mohamed Salah who is clearly in the best form of his Liverpool career.

"We can't be overly concerned with one player though because they have match-winners all over the pitch. We need to nullify them on Wednesday."

Stoke head into the game having suffered a 2-1 defeat at bottom-of-the-table Crystal Palace.
