Pundit claims Virgil van Dijk on course to smash Liverpool injury timeline

Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk could be ready to return from injury by March given his recent social media updates, according to Carlton Palmer. Van Dijk has been sidelined with an ACL injury since the Reds 2-2 draw with Everton in October. Van Dijk underwent surgery and there is no timeline yet when the player will make his return. However, he has been active on social media as he has been posting videos and pictures of his recovery on his Twitter page. “From what I’m seeing from him, he’s on the bike now and he’s started to jog a bit,” Palmer told Football Fancast. “If he’s into straight-line running, you would think in the next month to two months [he could be back] – he’s an exceptional athlete and a consummate pro. “If you look, in the past at Alan Shearer having a cruciate [injury], I think Shearer was back in record time because he looks after himself and keeps himself fit, players like that do recover quicker from injury.” source - TEAMtalk / Join us on Telegram
