Virgil van Dijk injured ahead of Manchester City battle

Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk looks set to miss this afternoon’s battle against visitors Manchester City due to injury.

Liverpool’s £75million new signing is suffering from a tight hamstring and is unlikely to be risked against the leaders.

Dejan Lovren is expected to be recalled by Reds’ boss Jürgen Klopp and deployed alongside Joël Matip in the heart of the defence, if VVD isn’t risked.
