Van Dijk confident Salah will get fitting Liverpool farewell despite injury

Mohamed Salah, set to depart Anfield following nine years with the club at the close of the season, had to withdraw from the pitch owing to a potential hamstring problem during Saturday's 3-1 triumph against Crystal Palace.

The team is pending scan outcomes to gauge the injury's severity, yet with merely four fixtures left in the campaign, the 33-year-old could sit out the rest of the term.

"Suffering an injury this late in the season, particularly considering his position, leaves just two additional home matches for him, and it stirs a blend of emotions in your thoughts," Van Dijk commented.

"He will receive the farewell all the same. I reckon that's not the priority right now, we must avoid dwelling too much on what lies further ahead.

"Given who Mo is, he mends rapidly, and surrounded by the proper team, we shall observe."

Since arriving in 2017, Salah has notched 257 goals over 440 outings, ranking second solely to Ian Rush and Roger Hunt among Liverpool's top marksmen.

This forward has proven vital in elevating the side to prominence in English and European competitions, claiming the Champions League along with two Premier League crowns, amongst various accolades.

Salah further claimed the players' player of the year honour a record three times, and led the Premier League scoring four times.
