Virgil Van Dijk is currently sidelined after suffering an ACL injury. The Dutch defender got injured in the match against Everton and is projected to be out for 8 months. Moreover it’s no doubt that Liverpool are struggling with his absence.

The Reds may look at other options to cover for Van Dijk. Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli is one of the suggested names.

“So I think we’ll have to wait until January to decide who we should get – if anyone.

“Of course, if we start to concede goals and feel that we’re missing a trick, then maybe; but January isn’t a good time to buy anyway, because you don’t get the best players. They’re all in the Champions League

“You’ll end up spending money and not necessarily improving. So why do that? Unless you’re desperate. And I’m hoping for us not to be desperate.”
