Another injury for Liverpool! Van Dijk's injury is more serious than expected and may be out for at least 4 weeks


According 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.
