Wayne Rooney believes Mo Salah's ego has taken a hit since the signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz at Liverpool - and insists Virgil van Dijk needs to call him out on ONE major flaw

Wayne Rooney has criticised Mohamed Salah for his work ethic in Liverpool's dramatic defeat at Chelsea on Saturday night, and believes that captain Virgil van Dijk needs to have a word with the star winger.

Salah, 33, failed to get on the scoresheet for the fifth time in seven Premier League games as the Premier League champions slumped to their third defeat in a week, in what many fans have called the 'week from hell'.

The Egyptian winger missed numerous chances in the second half, either side of Cody Gakpo's equaliser - following Moises Caicedo's first-half thunderbolt - but failed to hit the target.
