REUTERS: Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti said goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's challenge on Virgil van Dijk was mistimed rather than malicious and that reaction to the incident, which left the Dutchman facing a lengthy spell out, was over the top.

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum said the way Pickford went into the challenge was"completely stupid" and while the keeper had not set out deliberately to injure the centre back, he"didn't care about what happened after the tackle." "To be clear, we are really sorry for the injury of Virgil van Dijk," Ancelotti told Everton's website https://www.evertonfc.com/news/1870855/everton-manager-ancelotti-provides-injury-update-on-james ahead of Sunday's trip to Southampton."There was this contact with Jordan Pickford: it was mistimed contact. Jordan arrived a little bit later but his intention was to try to reach the ball. It was not to hurt Virgil van Dijk.
