Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk picked up a knee injury against Everton over the weekend and he is set to undergo surgery now that will keep him out for several months.

It seems that the Dutch international could miss the remainder of the season with ACL damage.

Van Dijk has been ever-present for the Reds since joining the club from Southampton and his absence will be a massive blow to Liverpool’s title hopes. The 29-year-old is the best player in the world in his position and he is irreplaceable.

Liverpool will struggle to find someone of his quality in the market even if they decide to sign someone in January.

Virgil van Dijk will undergo surgery on the knee injury sustained during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at @Everton.

Following surgery, Virgil will begin a rehabilitation programme to enable him to reach full fitness as soon as possible.

You’ll come back stronger, @VirgilvDijk
