“Liverpool” faces injury problems in the defense.

The English press trumpets that “The Reds” center-back Virgil van Dijk suffered a more serious ankle tendon injury than was thought.

The 31-year-old Dutchman was substituted during the halftime of Monday's match against “Brentford”.

Even at the press conference, Jurgen Klopp claimed that it was more of a precaution. However, the initial prognosis was incorrect.

Aside from football, V. van Dijk will miss at least a few weeks. More detailed examinations will be carried out today.
