Summary

After Liverpool destroyed Crystal Palace over the weekend, there was more good news this morning as Virgil van Dijk was seen back training with a ball as his rehab continues. Matt Addison is joined by Ian Doyle, Paul Gorst and Theo Squires to discuss the Dutchman and the 7-0 win at Selhurst Park, as well as what the imminent return of Thiago Alcantara, Xherdan Shaqiri and James Milner, who could all be back in team training this week, could mean for the Reds. Also on the agenda is Mohamed Salah, who today was voted the inaugural Fans' Footballer of the Year, while Liverpool were last night well-represented at the Sports Personality of the Year, with Jurgen Klopp winning the coach's award and Jordan Henderson placed second in the main award to Lewis Hamilton. Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Sadio Mane and Fabinho also get a mention after an excellent few days for the Premier League leaders.Like our podcasts and videos?

Let's start with the video that he posted this morning.

0:35.9

It looks like he's taking the next step towards a potential recovery.

0:39.4

Well yeah, considering he had his operation on his creature ligamentsaments what was it seven weeks ago something like that for him to be

0:46.4

Training as he was he was doing a bit of work clearly on his knee to some weights but more importantly

0:50.9

He was doing a bit of ball work. It wasn't much, but it was certainly more than I think
