Van Dijk facial injury 'no big problem' says Klopp after defender forced off in Liverpool friendly draw with Salzburg

The centre-back went off injured against the Austrian champions but the Reds manager is not concerned about his influential defender

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists the injury sustained by Virgil van Dijk in Tuesday's friendly with Red Bull Salzburg is nothing to be concerned about.

The Netherlands international was forced off in the 55th minute of the Reds' 2-2 draw in Austria after suffering a cut to his head.

Klopp, though, confirmed after the game that the 29-year-old is not expected to suffer any lasting effects.
