Virgil van Dijk reached out to Sadio Mane after the Dutchman's former Liverpool teammate saw his World Cup dream cruelly ended.
The clash between Van Dijk and Mane had been seen as one of the most eagerly anticipated of the group stages of the Qatar World Cup, only for Mane - who played with Van Dijk for four-and-a-half years at Liverpool, winning the Premier League and the Champions League in that time - to suffer an injury while playing for Bayern Munich.
Van Dijk admits Mane's absence will make it easier for the Dutch to beat Senegal, but he's still sad to see him missing.
