Liverpool defender Van Dijk: World class Salah will find way back

Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk insists Mohamed Salah will snap his scoring slump.

Salah has not found the net since Liverpool's 3-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth on February 9 and extended his goalless run to seven games in Sunday's win over Fulham.

“Mo is a world-class player," the centre-back told Liverpool's official website.

“People can say all they want but I think all the teams in the Premier League would love to have him in their side. We have him and I think he is playing well.

“The goals will come. That's something for a striker that is maybe going to be in your head but we tell him every time: you just need to keep working, keep going and you will be fine.

“He's still scored plenty of goals for us, to be fair, so it's not like two like me! It is like this."
