Van Dyck celebrates Liverpool’s second goal at Leeds United
Virgil van Dyck, Liverpool defender, has published a video showing how he is training to return to the stadium, and in it he seems close to returning.
Van Dyck suffered a cruciate ligament tear last October and underwent surgery, after which he was absent for several months.
But the video, posted by Van Dyck on his personal Twitter account, shows him doing individual exercises with and without the ball, performed by those who are about to return to the stadiums.
The captain of Holland commented on the clip, saying: “Step by step”.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp had hinted weeks ago that Van Dyck was recovering from this severe injury faster than the rest of the players.
Van Dyck’s absence from the Liverpool defense, along with his injured teammate Joe Gomez, has made it difficult for Klopp in the past two months to find defensive solutions.
The German coach took advantage of the defensive capabilities of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho and involved him as a center-back, accompanied by Joel Matip, who is constantly injured, forcing him to push the defenders of the youth team.
And on Van Dyck’s advice to his fellow defenders during his time away from the stadiums, the Liverpool manager said: “Virgil’s condition in the first weeks after his injury did not allow him to speak to the players and advise them on how to play. in the center of defense. Now he’s back, and he was. ” We’re in the stands opposite Wolverhampton, which is good. “
“Players talk to each other all the time, but I don’t know what they’re talking about. You have to ask them to know. I haven’t asked Virgil to talk to anyone about this, that’s my mission, and I think our defense showed a good level in the last games “.
However, Liverpool is the only one to top the Premier League table with 31 points, 4 points behind runner-up Leicester City.
They qualified for round 16 of the Champions League as the leader of their group and are preparing to face Leipzig in February and March, and Van Dyck may have a stake in appearing against the German team.
