Dutchman Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool's English defender, will be absent for "more than a month" due to a hamstring injury, German coach Jurgen Klopp announced on Friday. Liverpool are 16 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, and seven points behind fourth.
According to German manager Jurgen Klopp, English defender Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool will be out for "more than a month" with a hamstring injury. Liverpool is seven points behind fourth place and 16 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Van Dyck was injured during the 3-1 loss against host Brentford, Monday, in the league, and he left at halftime. He is expected to miss the “Premier League” matches against Brighton, Chelsea, and Wolverhampton.
The Merseyside derby against Everton on February 13 and the opening leg of the Champions League round of 16 at home against Real Madrid the following week put the Dutchman in a race against time to be prepared. It is a surprise and a major setback for us, Klopp remarked on the sidelines of the England Cup third-round encounter against Wolverhampton on Saturday. I hope he recovers fast despite the severe news; we are talking about weeks or maybe more than a month. This just occurred.
