Virgil van Dijk injury update

Jürgen Klopp allayed any concerns regarding Virgil van Dijk's fitness after the Liverpool No.4 suffered a head injury during Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Salzburg.

The centre-back was forced off in the 55th minute at Red Bull Arena, where Rhian Brewster struck twice in the second half for the Reds.

But Klopp confirmed post-match that Van Dijk is not expected to suffer any lasting effects.

“Virg only looks like he has a piercing now and has a plaster on it. It should not be, and is, no problem,” the manager told Liverpoolfc.com. “In the moment it is of course not cool but there will not be a problem.”
