Liverpool fans are fearing the worst on Virgil Van Dijk with the news that he will have to undergo surgery. What have the reactions been like so far?

It’s sad news for Liverpool fans all over after the latest update on Van Dijk.

We already gave details on how the Dutchman will require surgery after damaging his knee ligaments following a nasty tackle from Jordan Pickford.

There is no official word on how long he’ll be out but the fact that surgery is involved definitely means a long while out.

In fact, a report from beIN sports claims Van Dijk could be out for somewhere around seven to eight months. If that is true, he’s more or less out for the remainder of the season.

Given his impact and influence in the Reds line-up, it’s expected that a number of fans will be fuming at this latest development.

We take a look at some of the reactions from Liverpool fans and football fans in general following news that Van Dijk faces a spell on the sidelines.

Teammate Mohamed Salah was among the first Liverpool stars to react to the news.

One Manchester City fan says the Van Dijk injury is no excuse for Liverpool fans to blame anything on.

Some fans still want Pickford punished at all costs.

Liverpool will now face an anxious wait further to know the actual duration Van Dijk would be out for.
