Virgil van Dijk may not play again this season

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is set to undergo knee surgery after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage in the Merseyside derby.

Van Dijk suffered the injury after colliding with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the early stages of Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.

Van Dijk had to be substituted and was later sent for a scan, which revealed he would require surgery.
