Jurgen Klopp has made it easier to understand why Liverpool await the return of Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool’s manager used a better comparison to describe how the Reds will help the star defender while recovering from a knee injury. Van Dijk will soon undergo surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament that broke saturday in Liverpool’s Premier League tie with Everton is expected to face a months-long sideline.
“It’s the same thing, players like to be pretty lonely right now and take care of him from the start,” Klopp said Monday through LiverpoolFC. com. “I’ve been in business long enough to know. ” I got injured too, I had exactly the same injury if I’m right and it’s not when you’re quite talkative.
“Everything will start but we’re in touch, of course we’re in touch. We are there for him, he knows it and we will wait for him as a wife waits when the husband is in crime and, in the meantime, do everything possible to make the task as simple as possible.
What a sentimental way for the Liverpool manager to describe the era to come, that perhaps the Reds’ top vital player will practice and recover.
Liverpool will start life without van Dijk by Wednesday when they face Ajax in the UEFA Champions League.
