Klopp called Liverpool ace van Dijk straight after 'scary moment' in Netherlands game
Posted Friday, September 10, 2021 by Tribalfootball.com
Liverpool defender Jurgen Klopp has admitted it was "scary moment" watching Virgil van Dijk involved in a nasty collision playing for the Netherlands.
The Dutchman was pictured limping in his country's 6-1 victory against Turkey against Tuesday.
Van Dijk quickly allayed fears over a significant injury when speaking to reporters after the World Cup qualifier, and he also had to speak with his Liverpool manager to ease his concerns.
Klopp said: "With Virgil, that was obviously a scary moment, you can imagine. I sent him a message after the game, 'Are you alright?' 'Yes.' '100 per cent?' '200 per cent.' 'Come on, send me a video of you without limping...' 'I'm only limping off.'
"So he called me from the bus and said, 'Boss, I'm fine!' I said, 'Why are you limping then?' He said, 'My wife asked the same!' So, yeah, that was a bit of a tricky moment but apart from that, no, all fine [for the other international players]."
