Virgil van Dijk responds to Gnagnon's horror challenge on Yasser Larouci

Liverpool played against Sevilla as part of their pre-season game and lost 1-2. During the second half, Sevilla defender Gnagnon made shocking tackle on Liverpool youngster Yasser Larouci, after which the 18-year-old was carried out of the pitch.

After the game Gnagnon took to Twitter and apologized for his action. Meanwhile, Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk hit out at 22-year-old. “I saw it from the side, it’s not nice,” Van Dijk told Goal. “Especially when it happens against such a young guy who is playing pretty well this season. I think it says something about him. “You have to just deal with it, but obviously you don’t want to have injuries in a game like this. You want to get fit, you want to get back to your best. Obviously everyone wants to win the game, but the most important thing is to get fit. Hopefully for Yasser it is not that bad.”
