Relief for Liverpool fans! Virgil van Dijk reassures supporters he's OK after late injury scare which saw him clutching his ankle and limping off the pitch after Holland's comfortable win over Turkey

There was a heart in mouth moment for Liverpool fans when Virgil van Dijk was clutching his right ankle during Holland's 6-1 victory over Turkey.

The 30-year-old, who has only recently returned to action after a serious injury, looked in pain following a collision in the closing seconds of their comfortable win over Turkey after goalkeeper Justin Bijlow underhit a pass to him.

Van Dijk was able to get to his feet at the final whistle but limped off the pitch which would have been a moment of concern for Liverpool after the Dutchman missed the majority of last season due to a knee injury back in October.
