Nigel de Jong has responded to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk’s post on Instagram.
Van Dijk is training with the rest of the Liverpool squad in Austria at the moment.
Liverpool are in pre-season training now, as the former Premier League champions prepare for the 2021-22 campaign.
Van Dijk suffered a long-term knee injury against Everton in the Merseyside derby last October.
The Netherlands international central defender did not play again last season.
The 30-year-old is training with his Liverpool teammates again, and that has made his Dutch compatriot and former Manchester City defensive midfielder De Jong very happy, as you can see below.
Van Dijk is one of the best centre-backs in the world, and Liverpool missed him badly last season.
The Reds could not defend the Premier League title last season, and one of the mains reasons behind it was the absence of Van Dijk on the pitch.
The former Southampton star is looking good in pre-season, according to the clip he has posted on Instagram, and Liverpool fans should be confident and optimistic about the season ahead.
With a fully-fit Van Dijk, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be in a better position to reclaim the Premier League title from Manchester City.
