Virgil van Dijk has revealed that a twinge in his knee was the reason behind him being taken off during Liverpool’s FA Cup win over Chelsea.
Jurgen Klopp’s side claimed a dramatic 6-5 penalty shootout win over the Blues at Wembley. The game, just like the League Cup final back in February, finished 0-0 after 120 minutes of football.
But Van Dijk was taken off at the end of 90 minutes, being replaced by Joel Matip. Supporters were left concerned by the substitution, but the Dutchman explained the reasons behind the change after the game.
