Summarised by MatchPal
Van Dijk withdrawn from Netherlands squad due to fitness concerns, making him a doubt for Liverpool's trip to Manchester United next Sunday.
Virgil van Dijk has been withdrawn from the Netherlands squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Germany, raising fitness concerns ahead of Liverpool's clash with Manchester United at Anfield on November 24.
The Liverpool captain did not return fit from the weekend's matches and was deemed unavailable by new Dutch head coach Xavi. Van Dijk, 35, has been a regular for Liverpool this season, missing just one game and starting 14 of his 15 appearances across all competitions.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola will hope the issue is not serious, with the Manchester United fixture being the Reds' first game after the international break. Alisson Becker was also not selected by Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti for upcoming friendlies, with Ancelotti opting to rest experienced players.
