Liverpool centre back Virgil van Dijk will need a miracle to play any part in the club's Premier League title defence this season, manager Juergen Klopp said on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old Dutch defender was injured against Everton in October, needing knee surgery after goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's reckless challenge."No doctor told me there's a chance for Virgil to play again this season. I don't want to say it's impossible but it's not likely," Klopp told reporters ahead of Wednesday's Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion.
"I think we have space for Virgil on the Champions League list. If we have space, then Virgil will be on the list."Liverpool brought in defensive reinforcements on transfer deadline day, signing centre-backs Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak, even as they were hit with more bad news that defender Joel Matip was also out for the season with an ankle ligament injury.
