Jurgen Klopp has revealed Virgil van Dijk will be sidelined for more than a month with injury and described the Dutchman's loss as a "big blow".
Van Dijk was substituted at half-time during Liverpool's abysmal 3-1 defeat to Brentford on Monday after struggling with a hamstring issue. Klopp initially thought the injury was not serious but further tests have shown Van Dijk will not be back in action anytime soon.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the Reds' boss told reporters: "Virg was a surprise for us and a big blow. The diagnosis was pretty harsh. It's more than a month, but I hope it goes quick.
