Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has had a “successful” operation on his knee ligament injury, the club say.
The 29-year-old has not played since damaging anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) in a challenge with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the 2-2 Premier League draw on 17 October.
Liverpool said “no timeframe has been placed” on Van Dijk’s return.
“This time after an operation is always unpleasant. He is good as good as can be,” said manager Jurgen Klopp.
“The surgery was successful, which is really good, the best news we could get.”
