Van Dijk is out for more than a month with a injury.
The Dutch player was taken out of the game at half-time.
The Dutch defender has played in all of the league matches for the Reds.
It was a huge blow for us. "The diagnosis was pretty harsh."
We talk more than a month. It was one sprint too much in that moment.
"For Virgil, it is hard for him but he played an incredible amount of games over the last years and we can't use him on the pitch, only off the pitch, and we will do that."
He had never had a problem with muscles before. It is that way. We didn't do anything differently.
There are other options at centre-back.
Jordan Henderson is back in the lineup after missing the game with a concussion.
Henderson did exactly what he was allowed to do yesterday.
He's allowed to do everything from today.
