Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp allayed fears over Virgil van Dijk’s injury in pre-season friendly against RB Salzburg.
Virgil van Dijk was forced off the pitch in the 55th minute when Liverpool played Salzburg in a pre-season club friendly on Tuesday.
The Dutch defender suffered a head injury during the game, but Klopp revealed during the post-match press conference that the injury is not as serious as initially feared.
“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 Liverpool Fc.
“In the moment it is of course not cool but there will not be a problem.”
A second-half double from Rhian Brewster saw Liverpool recover from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with RB Salzburg.
