Jurgen Klopp gives four reasons why Virgil van Dijk returned to top form after Liverpool injury nightmare

Jurgen Klopp has detailed the key reasons behind Virgil van Dijk returning to top form since his return from a serious knee injury.

Van Dijk has been an influential presence in the Reds' quest for a quadruple, underlined by an impressive showing in the Champions League semi-final second leg win at Villarreal on Tuesday.

The defender was absent for almost nine months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in October 2020 before being thrown into the starting line-up on the opening weekend at Norwich City. Van Dijk has since missed only two Premier League games after testing positive for coronavirus in December, with no Liverpool player having featured for more minutes in the top flight this season.
