Klopp dismisses concerns after Virgil van Dijk sustains injury in friendly match

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has allayed any concerns regarding the fitness of Virgil van Dijk, insisting that the injury sustained by the player 'will not be a problem'.

During a friendly match against RB Salzburg on Tuesday, the centre-back was forced off in the 55th minute at Red Bull Arena, where Rhian Brewster struck twice in the second half for the Reds.

"Virg only looks like he has a piercing now and has a plaster on it. It should not be, and is, no problem. In the moment it is of course not cool but there will not be a problem," the club's official website quoted Klopp as saying.

Liverpool had witnessed a 2-2 draw in the match.

The Klopp-led side is now gearing up for the Community Shield clash against Arsenal, slated to take place on August 29.
