Liverpool are struggling to restore last season’s miraculous ability from last year, and the reasons for this include Virgil Van Dyke’s serious injury. The initial assessment determined that the Dutchman had finished the season due to a rupture in the Strip, but this morning (Thursday) Jürgen Klopp provided an optimistic picture.
“Although I am not the right person to judge his condition 100% Van Dyke looks very good and his condition at the moment is very promising,” the manager announced. “Anyway, I still do not know when he will return. I also had this injury in the past and the recovery process has many stages.”
As you can see, the brake was injured by Jordan Pickford in the derby against Everton on October 17 when the pessimists thought that Juan Dyke would miss the euro as a result. Until the end of the season.
Van Dyke managed to play five Premier League games this season, even scoring one goal against Leeds in the opening round. Although the English champions did not look their best on the defensive side even with Van Dyke, the absence even exacerbated the big problem, with Joe Gomez finishing the season about a month later, while Joel Matip is often injured.
