Mohamed Salah sends Liverpool FC injury message to Virgil van Dijk

The Netherlands international sustained a serious knee injury following Jordan Pickford’s dangerous tackle on the Liverpool FC number four in the Merseyside derby.

Van Dijk was unable to continue and Jurgen Klopp had to bring on Joe Gomez to replace the 29-year-old in Liverpool FC’s 2-2 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.

The Liverpool FC centre-half underwent a scan on his knee issue on Sunday before the defending Premier League champions confirmed that Van Dijk will require an operation.

Van Dijk is expected to be sidelined for up to eight months, representing a serious injury blow to the Premier League title holders.
