Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is facing a month on the sidelines after a hamstring problem was found to be more serious than first feared.The Netherlands captain was taken off at half-time of Monday's defeat at Brentford and further assessment has determined the severity will keep him out for a while."It was a surprise for us and a big blow.

The diagnosis was pretty harsh and we talk about weeks, more than a month," said manager Jurgen Klopp."It's a muscle thing - nothing different to say - it was one sprint too much in that moment."
