The chilling entry of Pickford to Van Dijk that took him out of the game

The central defender had to retire with gestures of pain after a reckless departure from the Everton goalkeeper.

Virgil Van Dijk, Liverpool center-back, withdrew this Saturday injured from the game against Everton, four days before his participation in the Champions League begins. The Dutchman was the target of a strong foul by Jordan Pickford, Everton goalkeeper. Despite trying to recover, Van Dijk had to stop and was replaced by Joe Gomez.

Van Dijk's injury joins those of Naby Keita and Alisson Becker, who are still not recovered a few days after Liverpool start their adventure in the Champions League against Ajax Amsterdam, next Wednesday.
