Virgil van Dijk Returns to Liverpool Training Ahead of Club World Cup Final

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has returned to training ahead of Saturday's 2019 FIFA Club World Cup final against Brazilian club Flamengo.

Van Dijk, 28, was absent from Wednesday's dramatic 2-1 semi-final win over Monterrey because of illness, but Sky Sports News reported on Friday the Dutchman had returned to the training pitch.

Ian Doyle of the Liverpool Echo posted video of the Netherlands international back in training on Friday, though international team-mate Georginio Wijnaldum is yet to rejoin the group and could miss the final:
