Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk's most recent comments suggest the Reds are yet again suffering from the same problem that has plagued both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah in recent seasons.
The Dutchman has explained that he feels he made a mistake by pushing his body beyond its limits which in turn led to an extended spell on the sidelines. Van Dijk has endured his worst season in a Liverpool shirt so far this term and certainly faced his fair share of criticism, but the central defender has since explained why he has struggled.
Van Dijk suffered a serious knee injury just under three years ago, which nearly curtailed his entire career. He has explained how he feels he has played too many games since that injury and also believes he rushed back from the World Cup.
