Liverpool defender Virgil van Dyck may be on the brink of a clash with his team’s coach, Juergen Klopp, during the 2021 summer Eurocup. And according to a report published in the British newspaper, “Mirror”.
The report indicated that Klopp insists on the presence of his defender in the preparation period for the new season and to participate fully in the preparatory round before the start of the new season after the serious injury he suffered.
On the other hand, sources in the Netherlands informed the newspaper that the Dutch international defender is determined to participate in Euro 2021 after 5 months of trying to recover from his injury, and will not give up competing in the tournament, which begins next. June.
Dutch coach Frank de Boer had announced that Van Dijk’s position was retained on the roster after the 29-year-old defender was informed that he could still compete in the Eurocup.
Van Dyck returned to career training and came a long way in the recovery process, but Jurgen Klopp and his medical staff said it would be scary for him to play the Euro before playing for Liverpool.
Klopp previously said that it was unlikely that Van Dyck would not participate before the start of next season, after a serious injury like this.
Van Dyck suffered a cut to his cruciate ligament during the match against Everton on matchday five of the English Premier League last October and has not returned since.
The European Championship will be held from June 11 to July 11.
