Virgil van Dijk gives the latest news about his current condition. The Liverpool defender gave a positive indication in the process of recovering from his injury.
The Dutchman has been out of action since sustaining an injury following a horror tackle by Everton keeper Jordan Pickford during the Merseyside derby played on October 17.
Virgil van Dijk has subsequently undergone successful surgery on the ACL injury to his right knee and is expected to be out long enough to fully recover. On the other hand, Liverpool itself did not rule out the players to appear again for the rest of this season.

Liverpool Echo said Virgil van Dijk’s series of activities were carried out at the NAS Sports Complex, Dubai, after less than six weeks off the operating table.
“This gives an indication that the 29-year-old footballer is making significant progress in his quest to return to playing again, to help Liverpool’s bid for the Premier League title next year.”
Last month, Juergen Klopp as Liverpool manager also expressed his optimism regarding Virgil van Dijk’s injury recovery process even though he was still in the early stages.
“Considering the situation, he is doing very well. Given that the knee had been operated on and in the time after that, the knee looks fine. So yes, of course we are continuing to communicate and to be honest, he is doing well,” he said of Virgil van Dijk.
