# Liverpool: Fans react to training ground footage of Virgil van Dijk

**Fans of Liverpool have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1335981675445096450), which featured footage of Virgil van Dijk doing his rehab work at the club’s new training centre**

In the footage, Van Dijk, who has been sidelined since the Merseyside derby after a [rash Jordan Pickford challenge](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54623158) [ruptured the centre-back’s cruciate ligament,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/virgil-van-dijk/verletzungen/spieler/139208) is seen participating in some gym work at the club’s Kirkby training complex.

While the [£72 million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/virgil-van-dijk/marktwertverlauf/spieler/139208) defender’s injury was a blow to Jurgen Klopp’s side, a situation that was made worse by Van Dijk’s fellow centre-back [Joe Gomez also being ruled out for a considerable amount of time due to injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/sperrenundverletzungen/verein/31), Liverpool’s backline have performed admirably without the Dutch international.

In the six Premier League games without Van Dijk, the Reds have [conceded just four goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/virgil-van-dijk/leistungsdaten/spieler/139208), while, over the club’s five Champions League fixtures without the defender, they have [conceded just twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/virgil-van-dijk/leistungsdaten/spieler/139208).

However, despite this, the sight of the 29-year-old has nonetheless delighted a great number of Liverpool fans, many of whom took to Twitter to share their joy.
