Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian claims there is no defense of Jordan Pickford’s challenge over Virgil van Dijk, which resulted in a serious injury to the defender.

Liverpool’s central talisman suffered a season-ending ACL injury to his knee after Pickford recklessly flew at the end with a scissor challenge during the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday past.

The Toffees goalkeeper has received strong criticism ever since, with number one Adrian admitting that the challenge is difficult to defend.

“It was a very bad challenge in a very bad position of Virgil’s body,” the Reds stopper told Sky Sports. “It was late. No player can do this kind of challenge ‘,

“I’m a goalkeeper and I always defend goalkeepers, but in that case I’m going for a ball like that… I don’t know.

“It’s not fair in that situation because you don’t have much of a chance to block the ball in that position, just to hurt the other player.”

It has since been revealed that Pickford will not face retrospective action for the challenge after he was not warned by on-field referee Michael Oliver and VAR official David Coote during the match.

‘As a footballer, your body is at risk every time you play, but you have some challenges you can do.

But I don’t accept this kind of challenge. The federation, the Premier League cannot accept this kind of thing. ‘

The Reds are looking to get their Premier League title defense back on track with a home draw against Sheffield United on Saturday, with Adrian set to start in goal once again with first choice Alisson still out of play.
