Gini Wijnaldum offers update on Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk recovery after surgery

“As a club you never have the guarantee that you will get players back completely fit,” he said.

“We play three international matches and that takes energy. But as a football player I think it is great to play many matches with the Dutch national team.

“Everyone who is now with the Oranje is happy with these international matches. At the moment I feel very good and very fit.

“But we are only at the beginning of the season. I don’t know what it will be like later. Will I get a message from Liverpool? Yes, that I have to come back fit! Nothing more.”
