The Reds, who were just denied the title last season, suffered in the early going this year as draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace were exacerbated by Monday's humiliating loss at rivals Manchester United, according to DPA.
The forward, who was named the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players' Player of the Year for 2021-22 after helping Juergen Klopp's side to a domestic cup double, has now committed his future to the Reds.
The 36-year-old's previous deal was due to expire at the end of this month and the midfielder had external offers from one Premier League club and two from overseas but he chose to remain with Liverpool.
But Klopp is waiting to find out the extent of injuries to top-scorer Salah and defensive talisman Van Dijk, who were both forced off at Wembley on Saturday.
Although the Premier League season is currently delayed until at least April 30 due to the coronavirus, Reds boss Klopp is in constant contact with his squad.
Atletico in the first leg at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium edged the Reds 1-0 and capitalised their advantage in the second leg on Wednesday.
Liverpool were pipped by a 1-0 goal difference when they visited Madrid for the first leg. Saul Niguez had scored the lone goal of the match only in the 4th minute. And now, the Reds will be hosting their opponents at Anfield.
In addition to the suspension of the youngsters who accompany the players onto the pitch, Liverpool employees will not travel to high-risk countries.
Meanwhile, speaking about Liverpool's current performance, Jurgen Klopp blamed the “too many goals” they have conceded as the reason for their downfall.
