Liverpool in distress, Van Dijk can lose season

However, more than losing two points, Jurgen Klopp is deeply concerned about the fate of Liverpool's top defender, Virgil Van Dijk, who fell victim to a brutal intervention on the goalkeeper, Jordan Peckford.

Everything happened in the 11th minute of the meeting, when the Guardian of Everton and the English representative stepped in with both legs over the Dutch defender and left him injured, although the referee stopped playing for a dead end of Van Dyke's game.

Liverpool's most expensive defender immediately left the playing field replaced by Gomez, while at the “the Reds” camp fears much of a damage to cross-crossed evils that would keep him out of the field at least 6-7 months.

Coach Jurgen Klopp appeared quite pessimistic at the end of the match, while the actual extent of Van Dijk's injury is expected to be confirmed only during today, when he has conducted all necessary tests.

If current doubts are confirmed, then the defender is expected to lose most of the season and return only early May to play at the European Football Championship.

This would be fatal for the defending champions of Premier League, who have shown that without Van Dijk on the field, they are a fragile team, which has many goals and is unable to stand at high levels.
