Van Dijk return doesn't mean Liverpool will 'automatically win the league again', warns Carragher

 

The former Anfield favourite is wary about the Netherlands international being rushed back too soon after a lengthy spell on the sidelines

Jamie Carragher has warned that Virgil van Dijk's return doesn't mean Liverpool will "automatically win the league again".Van Dijk made his first appearance for Liverpool in nine months in their friendly clash with Hertha Berlin last week, having missed the majority of the 2020-21 campaign due to a serious knee injury.

The 30-year-old is still working his way back to full fitness after surgery and Carragher doesn't want to see him rushed back onto a competitive stage too early, with the Reds set to open their latest Premier League campaign away at Norwich City on August 14.
