The damage to the Dutch defender of “Liverpool” was more serious than initially thought.
We recall that the captain of the Dutch national team and vice-captain of the Reds was replaced last Monday during the match against Brentford. Immediately after the match, Jurgen Klopp said that the Dutchman most likely avoided a serious injury, saying that Van Dijk himself told him so.
“Virgil felt something in the hamstring area. He said he was fine, but I decided not to risk it, the doctors supported me. I think nothing serious happened to him, but we still decided to replace him” he said Klopp .
But today it became known that Van Dijk was wrong in his predictions. According to the Liverpool Echo, the Dutch defender’s injury was more serious than initially thought. A recovery timeline for the veteran player has yet to be announced, but Virgil van Dijk is expected to be out of action for at least a few weeks.
