Virgil van Dijk adds to Liverpool injury concerns as he is sent home from Holland duty because of rib issue…
marvellous. this is why... every time. I call every single window for our players with any issue to withdraw and watch certain prem team players withdraw with nothing wrong with them. he knew full well he was very borderline
Ribs? Hopefully that's one of these infamous minor knocks the sees them suddenly become available again within a few days
Lets be honest it 's a nothing competition and I'd rather see players choose club over national side .
I must have had this discussion so many times in my lifetime. Its a very simple solution, seen many people say it, just use the current international breaks to play, league/cup games then pull the end of season in by corresponding number of weeks and play all internationals at the end of the season in the new gap. Any injuries unless really major (have to accept some things unavoidable) only effect the international teams, everyones happy. The only logical argument i have ever heard against this was the varied club calendar in different countries, however the quatar world cup has set the precedence there. So no drama now
Title is misleading. He’s been sent home to give him more time to recover the injury he sustained v Southampton about 3 weeks ago. Perfect for us, gives him a week to recover. Fact he’s played 4 games of football since I’d suggest it’s not an injury that’s keeping him out, just maybe not been 100% and as it’s a friendly lfc and Holland have agreed to give him bit of time off to fully recover.
Not beung arsey? The daily mail headline suggests he’s got injured on international duty where as that’s not the case. He’s been rested to fully recover because he still not 100% after getting injured for us weeks back, but clearly fit enough to play as he’s played many games since.
