Jurgen Klopp admits the injury that forced Virgil van Dijk out of Liverpool’s eventful derby date with Everton is “not good”.
He was forced from the field and went straight down the tunnel after tangling with Jordan Pickford.
The Everton goalkeeper came flying out to meet the Liverpool centre-half as a looping ball dropped inside the box.
Pickford connected with Van Dijk at knee height, leaving a talismanic figure for the Reds writhing on the deck.
Klopp when quizzed on the severity of Van Dijk’s ailment, he told reporters: “I don’t know. It’s not good.
“Virgil played I don’t know how many games in a row, he plays with pain, he plays with pretty much everything.
“But he couldn’t play on. That’s not good.”
