Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that it’ll be a miracle if Van Dijk plays again this season. He recently revealed that the chances of the Holland defender playing again this season is very slim.
According to him, even if he doesn’t want to say that it is very impossible for that to happen this campaign, it is very much unlikely.
He added that since Liverpool is always realistic when it comes to injuries at the club, replacements had to be brought in before the transfer window as shut.
His words, “In the moment, I don’t know where these things are coming from,”
“Nobody really, no doctor, nobody really told me there’s a chance for Virgil to play in this season again.”
“I don’t want to say that’s absolutely impossible but it’s not likely. It’s not likely. We don’t have to discuss these things really.”
“If we have space [in our Premier League and Champions League squad list] we would put them all on, even when all the medical people tell us there’s no chance. We put them on because we believe in miracles from time to time.”
“But if there’s no place then we have to consider these kind of things and say, ‘The chance is not too big so we have to make the decision.’ But if they are on the list then it’s only because we hope for nearly a miracle. That’s it.”
