"Liverpool” club defender and captain Virgil van Dijk commented on the situation of the team's leader Mohamed Salah and did not hide his joy that he is in the team:

"I told M. Salah that I want him to stay here. I won’t share the details of everything else with you.

I would really like to have him by my side, as the Egyptian is one of the leaders among the "Scousers”, but the fact is that he will be going to the AFCON tournament.”

"We all hope that M. Salah will return and be important for us for the rest of the season.

But on the other hand, we all understand football and don’t know what will happen to him.

I hope he stays here, as he is a very important player and one of the leaders.”

Mohamed Salah entered the pitch in the victorious match with Brighton, winning 2-0, in the 25th minute.

Before that, the Egyptian did not travel with the team to Milan for the Champions League match.

The 33-year-old Mohamed Salah scored 5 goals in 20 matches this season.
