Vigil van Dijk feels for Sadio Mane and his World Cup dream because he suffered the same heartbreak when he missed Euro 2020.
Mane will be sidelined Senegal’s opening World Cup match against van Dijk’s Holland on Monday because of a leg injury and the country’s football federation claim he will miss their “first games”.
Van Dijk has spoken to his old Liverpool pal and he sympathises with him because he knows how gut-wrenching it is to miss a major tournament through injury. "Of course I’ve spoken to him,” said the defensive colossus, who missed Euro 2020 because of a serious knee injury.
