'Van Dijk and Salah injuries could derail Liverpool's season'

Liverpool's Premier League title challenge could be put into jeopardy by injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, according to Reds legend Steve McManaman.

Jurgen Klopp's side opened up a 10-point lead over Manchester City on Saturday thanks to a 5-1 demolition of Arsenal, with City suffering back-to-back defeats to lose ground on their title rivals. Pep Guardiola has been hit by injuries to some key players and former Liverpool midfielder McManaman is wary that the same thing could happen at Anfield.

"If Liverpool get a bad injury to Van Dijk or to Salah, at the same time, your thoughts start to change," he told BT Sport.
