But if it's going to happen – and I have no idea about it and I don't think at this point he has an idea about it – then we will, as a club, adapt to that."We have been through everything together, positive things and some negative things unfortunately as well, so it would definitely be a big blow and a miss but I don't think, for me, it's a good idea to think ahead about what could or could not happen."He's very important for me as one of the leaders in the team and I think he is very important on the pitch because I think he is one of the best – in my opinion the best – goalkeeper in the world. He's trying to be back as soon as possible to help us for the last four games and that's our main focus.Alisson and Curtis Jones have both been tipped to leave Liverpool (Image: Getty Images)"Whatever happens after that is not something you should ask me.

Jones has excelled as a makeshift right-back in the past two matches and has clocked up more playing time this season than in any previous campaign during his Liverpool career.Asked whether he wants the Academy graduate to remain at his boyhood club, Van Dijk said: "Of course. Trending "It's nice to be in your original position but he is so comfortable on the ball, he understands what is asked from that position."Despite his looming exit after nine years at the club, Robertson has featured in the last three matches at left-back ahead of Milos Kerkez, and netted his first Premier League goal in nearly two years during the 3-1 home victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.Van Dijk added: "I made a joke in the dressing room that finally he scores normal goals instead of deflections or own goals because now he scored two great goals against Wolves away and this one, outstanding."Really pleased for him but they (Robertson and Jones) are both outstanding football players and in the case of Robbo we're definitely going to miss him when the season is over.
