Memphis Depay sends heartwarming message to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk

Lyon forward Memphis Depay has sent a classy message to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk after scoring on Sunday.

Van Dijk suffered a serious knee injury during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Everton in the Merseyside derby.

A reckless challenge from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford forced Van Dijk off in the 11th minute of the game.

Liverpool have confirmed that the Dutch defender will undergo surgery on the knee injury he sustained during the Merseyside derby.

The centre-back damaged knee ligaments, and no specific timescale is being placed upon his return to action.
