Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes Virgil van Dijk is 'not up to his level' and is 'playing within himself' after he returned from a long injury lay-off at the start of last season.
The central defender missed the majority of the 2020/21 campaign with an ACL injury, sustained in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park back in October 2020. He returned at the start of the 2021/22 season and went on to make 51 appearances in all competitions.
He only missed a handful of games last term, three with covid and a knee problem saw him miss the final two games of the season, although he was named on the bench on the final day against Wolves, but was an unused substitute.
