Watch: Virgil van Dijk teases return with fierce strike in training

Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk’s rehabilitation process is at a stage where he is now being allowed to use his operated leg to full effect as evident by his pulverising strike in training today.

The Dutchman has been left with a huge battle scar on his knee, an ugly reminder of the gruesome injury that he suffered back in October.

But the Liverpool centre-back is certainly leaving the demons of his past behind as he continues recuperating from a ruptured ACL.

The venomous goal in training shows that Van Dijk is slowly but surely getting back on track to make his return when the new season kicks off in August.
