After the serious injury of Virgil Van Dyke, who tore the crossbar and was absent from the pitches for a long time, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp spoke tonight (Monday) with the worried fans.

"Very little is known at the moment," Klopp said, "but he's obviously out for a long time. We don't want to say how long, because to be honest, every player is different and it's impossible to set a time frame until they recover. He's out for a long time and that's the situation right now." .

The player will be injured after Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford hit him during the derby on Saturday.

The coach said that in real time when he saw the incident from the bench he did not understand the severity, but after that it was clear to him that it was an injury that would result in a prolonged absence.

"I saw the injury again after the game and see straight away that he will be out for a long time. Right now we are totally for him, most of us have been in a similar situation and we know how difficult it is. You do not want it, but Virgil will overcome it. One hundred percent. Today is the first day Of his rehabilitation process. "

To conclude, the manager said: "We are in touch with Virgil of course. We are here for him, he knows this and we will wait for him like a good wife waiting for her husband who is in prison, and doing everything she can to make it as easy as possible for him."
