Virgil van Dijk has shocked Liverpool fans by describing his injury recovery following a horror tackle from Jordan Pickford as 'one of the best times of my life.'
In 2020, the Dutch defender ruptured his ACL after a nasty collision with the Everton net-minder at Goodison Park.
The Merseyside Derby incident saw van Dijk spend nearly a year on the sidelines as he recovered from the injury.
Despite the ordeal, the recently crowned Premier League champion looks back on that period fondly.
'It was one of the best times of my life,' van Dijk told GQ.
