Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react after seeing what Virgil van Dijk uploaded to Instagram yesterday evening.
The £75 million colossus posted a video of himself back at Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre after doing some of his rehabilitation abroad.
Van Dijk showed himself running in a swimming pool, while watching the movement of his legs underwater on a TV screen in front of him.

It’s extremely encouraging to see the Netherlands international running underwater and putting pressure on his injured knee.
In the clip, Van Dijk seems to be running naturally, with no sign of a limp or anything like that, which is a huge relief.
It would be incredible if the 29-year-old made an appearance this season, given the severe nature of his knee injury.
