Jose Mourinho once left Mohamed Salah in tears at Chelsea after berating the Egyptian over poor performance and taking him off at half-time, claims John Obi Mikel.
Salah spent two-and-a-half years with the Blues after completing an £11million move from Basel in January 2014, yet the majority of that time was spent out on loan after a difficult first half-season under Mourinho.
Despite getting on the scoresheet twice in his first five league appearances, the now-Liverpool star produced a string of below-par displays and therefore fell out of favour, meaning he was sent out on loan to Fiorentina and Roma for the final two years of his stint in west London.
And Mikel has revealed that Salah felt the full wrath of Mourinho during a 'bad game' for Chelsea against Norwich in 2014, which left him visibly emotional in the dressing room.
The former Blues midfielder said on Dubai Eye: 'I think [Salah] was having a bad game and then obviously Mourinho came in and ripped into him, massively ripped into him.'
