Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk provides update after injury scare on international duty
Virgil van Dijk has eased Liverpool fears that his ankle injury could be serious after he went to ground in stoppage time of Holland’s 6-1 win over Turkey in Amsterdam. The defender was sent up in the air following a strong tackle after he attempted to receive an under-hit, casual pass from his goalkeeper Justin Bijlow.
Turkey would score following the mess at the back but Cengiz Under’s consolation meant precocious little as the Netherlands romped to victory in their latest World Cup qualifier.
The incident would mean a great deal to Liverpool though, who will have been left concerned by pictures of Van Dijk wincing in pain on the floor.
He clearly felt the wrath of the strong tackle, in which he did not appear to fully commit.
Thankfully for Jurgen Klopp, his talisman Van Dijk has already made it clear the problem is nothing more than an impact injury.
