# Liverpool: Fans react to Virgil van Dijk footage

**A number of Liverpool supporters expressed their delight after new footage of Virgil van Dijk working on his recovery emerged.**

The Reds have suffered a [seemingly endless stream of injuries](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-injury-news-latest-list-alisson-thiago-alexander-arnold-robertson-henderson-780156) this season, which has a huge negative impact on their season. It has meant Jurgen Klopp’s side have relinquished their Premier League title in fairly limp fashion, with even a top four finish in doubt.

While a number of individuals have been big losses, no player’s absence has been felt quite like Van Dijk’s, with the Dutchman [becoming a colossal figure](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48065752) for Liverpool.

The 29-year-old has been missing since October, having suffered [cruciate ligament damage](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/412585-virgil-van-dijk-knee-injury-surgery) after a shocking tackle by Jordan Pickford in a feisty Merseyside derby.

Van Dijk has been working hard on returning to action, and on Saturday, Liverpool’s official Twitter account [posted](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1383433063367987203?s=20) a video of him in the club’s gym.
