""I'm not the one to speak if someone has to apologise," Van Dijk said on Amazon Prime when asked about his team-mate. "It's him airing his feelings for the past couple of days. "That's something the club has to deal with, obviously, me as well. The focus was there; nothing else changed. He trained as well. "The reality also is that Mo is going to Africa soon."
""I've known him for such a long time; we are good friends and have been through highs and lows. "We speak, and those types of things will stay indoors as they should be. We have to brace ourselves and be against the outside noise. "It's difficult, but it's a collective difficult situation that we're all in. Between Mo and the club, things are going on, and he's not here; that's the reality. I don't think anything has changed in terms of our focus and determination.""
Virgil van Dijk said Liverpool and Mohamed Salah are engaged in internal talks after the winger was left out of the squad for the Champions League trip to Inter. Dominik Szoboszlai scored a late penalty to secure a 1-0 win at the San Siro. Salah missed the trip after an explosive post-match interview in which he said he felt 'thrown under the bus' and suggested his relationship with manager Arne Slot had soured. Van Dijk said the situation is being handled by the club, stressed team focus and urged teammates to ignore outside noise. Salah will go to the Africa Cup of Nations after the match with Brighton if reinstated.
