Another injury for Liverpool! Van Dijk's injury is more serious than expected and may be out for at least 4 weeks
2023-01-05 13:42According to the British "Times" news, the 31-year-old Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk, who is currently playing for Liverpool in the Premier League , has a serious hamstring injury and is likely to need a truce for several weeks to recover from the injury.
Van Dijk played 5 games on behalf of the Dutch national team in the World Cup in Qatar, but finally lost to Argentina in a penalty shootout to eliminate the semi-finals. After returning to the Liverpool club, Van Dijk suffered a leg injury in the last round of the Premier League in a 1-3 loss to Frentford, causing him to be replaced in the first half.
However, after an examination by medical experts, it was confirmed that Van Dijk 's hamstring injury was more serious than originally expected, and it was inevitable that he would be suspended until next month, and there is currently no return date.
Injuries to key players take a hit for Liverpool
In fact, Liverpool currently has several key players suffering from injuries, including the 25-year-old forward Luis Dias, who has not healed the medial collateral ligament injury and needs surgery, and the 26-year-old Portuguese forward Diogo Jota, who missed the World Cup in Qatar due to injury. He is expected to return from injury in February.
Now with the main defensive force Van Dijk, this is undoubtedly a major blow to Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp.
The schedule is tight + the Champions League match against defending champion Real Madrid
Following the Qatar World Cup, Liverpool has maintained a record of 2 wins and 2 losses in the last 4 games, and is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League, 5 points behind Tottenham.
According to the schedule, Liverpool will play against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend, and will start against Brighton and Chelsea next Saturday. After playing against Wolves, Everton and Newcastle United in February, the UEFA Champions League round of 16 will start against defending champion Real Madrid on February 22. The situation of the full camp of wounded is likely to affect Liverpool's performance in the next Premier League and European war.
