Liverpool fears cruciate ligament injury Virgil van Dijk | Football

sport">“It is not good with Virgil,” said the German coach. “Normally he always plays with pain, he never misses a match. I don’t know how bad it is, but it doesn’t look good. ”

sport">The Dutch defender had to leave after five minutes during the city derby with Everton. Van Dijk collided with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and injured his right knee. The keeper went wild in the game but did not receive a penalty because Van Dijk was offside. The referee also decided not to issue a card, where a red card may have seemed appropriate.

sport">It is therefore extremely uncertain whether Van Dijk can participate with Liverpool in the away match against Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday. In the past two weeks, Van Dijk came into action for the Dutch national team against Mexico, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy.

sport">BeIN Sports allegedly received information that Van Dijk was out for at least seven to eight months due to a cruciate ligament injury. This puts the European Championship of 2021 in serious danger for the captain of Orange.

sport">It would be the second leading figure for the Dutch national team within ten months that sustained a cruciate ligament injury. In December 2019, attacker Memphis Depay also tore off his cruciate ligament.
