Virgil van Dijk has given Liverpool fans a scare ahead of this weekend’s trip to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge by missing training on Thursday afternoon.
The Dutchman was forced off early in the second half of the 3-0 win over Southampton with a rib injury and he wasn’t included in the matchday squad as the Reds lost their first game of the campaign to Chelsea in the League Cup on Wednesday night.

The Reds travel to London to face Chelsea on Saturday evening in a game that they’ll be desperate to win in order to keep their 100% record in the Premier League.
