Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has joked that Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane 'don't like passing' to their Liverpool teammates.

Wingers Salah and Mane are the Reds' top two scorers in the Premier League this season, with six and eight goals respectively, but seemingly have a bad reputation for being selfish in the Anfield dressing room.

The pair had a mini bust-up themselves during Liverpool's clash with Burnley earlier this season - with the former Southampton star furious that he wasn't gifted the ball when he was in a better position.

And Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has bagged four notches this season in all competitions, has playfully hinted as an exasperation from Liverpool players about Salah and Mane.

"Something that Sadio and Mo have in common is that they don't pass us the ball much, that would be the main thing – they like shooting a lot!" the England international said at a launch for Roar! for Diversity, a joint Premier League and ECB initiative for a curriculum-linked PSHE resource and competition for 7-11-year olds to inspire young people to discuss and celebrate diversity.

Oxlade-Chamberlain also talked about the effect Salah and Mane's Ramadan fast has on the side and how their individual skills boost the squad as a whole.

He said: "They're both from Africa and they're both Muslims.

"They're two players in our team that have different periods of the season when they have Ramadan which is a testing time for them because they don't get to eat and drink at the same time as the rest of the team.

"So we have to understand to try and help them and the coaching staff does that very well.

"The most successful teams bring together players with individual skills and qualities to be able to achieve success as a group.

"The Liverpool dressing room is home to players from more than 20 countries. Everyone brings something different to the atmosphere on and off the pitch!

"The Premier League is for everyone. Using sport to inspire a generation of young fans to celebrate diversity is something I'm proud to be supporting."
