Rooney Suggests Salah's Peak Performance May Be Winding Down Due to Fitness Issues

Wayne Rooney has raised concerns about Mohamed Salah's current performance levels, suggesting that the Liverpool forward's fitness has noticeably declined this season.

At thirty-three years old, Salah has scored just six goals since the start of the season, a statistic that Rooney interprets as part of the natural decline athletes face as they age, despite Salah recently renewing his contract with Liverpool.

Rooney also drew parallels between Salah's situation and that of his teammate Virgil van Dijk, highlighting that a decrease in performance is common as players advance in their careers.
