Liverpool sweating on latest Van Dijk injury

Liverpool are sweating on the extent of Virgil van Dijk’s hamstring injury.

Brentford FC v Liverpool FC - Premier League

Van Dijk was substituted at half time of Monday’s 3-1 defeat by Brentford with the issue, which was initially not feared to have long-term repercussions.

Jurgen Klopp revealed post-match that his decision to withdraw the Holland captain in the capital was down to ‘intensity’ rather than an injury concern.

But Van Dijk is now facing up to a fresh spell on the sidelines as he prepares to see a consultant this week to determine the full impact of the problem.

Depending on the prognosis, the 31-year-old could face several weeks out of action in the latest blow to the Reds’ Champions League qualification hopes.

Klopp’s side sit seven points adrift of Manchester United ahead of a testing month in which they will face fellow top four hopefuls Brighton and Chelsea.
