Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is confident Mohamed Salah will get the send-off his glittering career deserves, even if an injury prevents the Egyptian from playing for the Reds again.
Salah, who will leave Anfield at the end of the season after nine years, was forced to leave in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace with a suspected hamstring injury.
Liverpool are awaiting the results of a scan to determine the extent of the problem, but with just four games remaining the 33-year-old may not feature again this season.
“If you get injured at this stage of the season, especially in the situation he is in, there are only two home games left for him to play. It’s a combination of feelings that go through your head,” said Van Dijk.

«He will get the farewell anyway. I don’t think that is an issue at the moment, we should not think too far ahead.»
“Knowing Mo, he’s a quick healer and with the right people around him, let’s see.”
Salah has scored 257 goals in 440 games since arriving in 2017, behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt on the list of Liverpool’s top scorers.
The winger has been crucial to the club’s return to the top flight of English and European football, winning the Champions League and two Premier League titles, as well as a host of trophies.
Salah also won the Player of the Year award a record three times and was the Premier League’s top scorer four times.
