'They think I'm acting!' - Van Dijk calms injury fears after Netherlands scare

The 30-year-old went down late in his country's win over Turkey after a heavy collision

Virgil van Dijk has looked to calm any injury fears after a collision late in Netherlands' 6-1 win over Turkey on Tuesday.

The defender was sent into the air after a clash with Halil Dervisoglu following an under-hit pass from Dutch goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, which led to a late consolation for the Turks.

Van Dijk was down on the ground for a brief spell as Netherlands easily won the World Cup qualifier in Amsterdam.
