It was in Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Everton, which ended 2-2, that the accident happened for Liverpool’s Dutch defense general, current Premier League champion Virgil van Dijk.
Already in the eleventh minute, Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford van Dijk kidnapped. Pickford managed without a card and Van Dijk was forced to change but was able to leave the field for his own machine.
Already on Saturday night information arrived that it was a serious knee injury and on Sunday Liverpool confirmed that it is a cruciate ligament injury and that the 29-year-old player is forced to undergo surgery and a long absence due to injury.
– I don’t know how many games in a row Virgil has played for us. He plays with pain, he plays with almost everything but this time he couldn’t play anymore, coach Jürgen Klopp said after Saturday’s game.
Since van Dijk came to Liverpool from Southampton in 2018, he has played every league game and the club has won the Champions League (2019) and the Premier League (2020) with him on the pitch.
Virgil van Dijk will undergo surgery for the knee injury suffered during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at @Everton.
After surgery, Virgil will begin a rehabilitation program that will allow him to achieve full physical shape as soon as possible.
You will come back stronger @VirgilvDijk 💪
