Virgil Van Dijk

It's far too early. Modern science can't heal the body that quick yet. Maybe the Eastern European horse placenta that yossi used all those years ago has been taken out the freezer

Taxi driver told me they were injecting foetuses into his knee to speed things up.

[Ronnie Whelan]

It's great news to hear how well the recovery is going but once he ia okay for the next few seasons.

 

Still no chance the club will rush him so it must be going really well. I trust them to know what they're doing.

Few rumours going round that's he's being re added to the league and champions league lists. 10th April being a possibility of returning. 

 

Gives him something to aim for rather than being immediately excluded from the lists.

I don't think we'll buy anyone unless one of our long-standing targets becomes available at an acceptable price. Maybe a loan otherwise. 

[Butch]

We're actually doing extremely well without him so there's no need to unnecessarily rush him back before he's fully recovered. 

[Tj hooker]

Not a chance will the club rush him back he's obviously on an upward trajectory which is Brilliant news , to have him back at all this season will be great hopefully its sooner rather than later .

[dockers_strike]

The boy is clearly making progress but, there's a world of difference between walking, step ups and tapping a ball back to a physio compared to running, jumping, tackling and being tackled in games.

 

If he makes some appearances towards the end of the season, great. No need to put pressure on him to be playing before he's 100% ready.

[TheHowieLama]

The Netherlands will definitely be putting pressure on him to play.

[niallers]

If the euros weren't on then he wouldn't even be entertaining an idea of coming back early.

If we are in Europe he will be desperate to get back. He's a top player and will want to play. Whether we should let him is another matter

True but we're not talking about just any ordinary mortal here. 

[Section_31]

By the time he comes back Klopp will have put him on skid row and Fabinho will be like: "Yo Virg, I dig your locker man."

But the dude is a specimen. Ridiculously fit, has access to excellent physios and arguably the best rehab in the UK. He's also got an amazingly positive attitude, 

 

Out of curiosity, does anybody know who did his operation? 

[Remmie]

I trust our medical team and Klopp to judge his return properly, amazing to see that level already though, hard not to be encouraged.

He will be putting pressure on himself to play in the euros

[Numero Veinticinco]

This malingerer better be back soon. Even Thiago looks to have stopped pretending.

They can piss off. 

[Dr Nowt]

Whether he's back tomorrow or in February 2022 I'm livid.

[3 Stacks]

His surgery was like 2 months ago. Pretty sure it's normal he'd be doing rehab stuff at this point.

It's possible to come back from this sort of injury in 6/7 months if the surgery and recovery go well, so this sounds realistic.

Virgil doing a spot of training in Dubai with Seedorf. Anyone know why he's using facilities in Dubai after we've just opened the new training complex?

Just a guess
