Virgil van Dijk must let the match between Liverpool and Manchester City pass by, says the Liverpool Echo. According to the local newspaper, the 26 year old defender, who this winter passed on 84.5 million euros from Southampton for 84.5 million euros, suffers too much from a hamstring injury and is unable to take action on Sunday.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the injury is not very serious, but manager Jürgen Klopp does not want to take risks with the record purchase of the Reds. Dejan Lovren is expected to take Van Dijk’s place at the Merseyside club, which will be stationed next to Joël Matip in the centre of the defense area by the German rehearser.
Van Dijk, who knew a dream debut against Everton in the third round of the FA Cup by entering the decisive 2-1, must therefore let the top against City pass by. The team of Josep Guardiola is this season still undefeated in the Premier League; the earlier meeting between the two top teams this season ended in 5-0 for City.
