Liverpool have lost five league games in a row at home for the first time in the club’s 128-year old history and have dropped down to seventh in the league table.
Their famed front three have looked lacklustre for a while and the Reds have not scored a goal from open play at Anfield in over ten hours.
Salah was brought off just after the hour mark in Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night and the forward did not look happy with Jurgen Klopp’s decision.
But Sinclair feels that there has been a brewing problem between Salah and Mane, which was ignored due to Liverpool’s brilliant form in the league and Europe over the last two years.
However, Sinclair thinks with things going wrong for the Reds this season, the problem between the two is coming to the surface now.
Sinclair said on talkSPORT: “I feel there is a massive problem, which is kind of almost plastering over the cracks with his relationship with Mane.
“I feel Mane is a huge team player and I feel Salah is more for himself and that has been a relationship problem for a long time at Liverpool.
“They have been getting away with it until now, but when you start coming under pressure and the results are not going your way that’s when that can be strained.
“I feel there is really a problem between the two players.”
Liverpool will hope the pair can hit top form soon as they bid to close the gap on the top four in the Premier League.
