"Virgil van Dijk has said he spoke to Xavi Simons following the midfielder's red card in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham and insisted there was no intent to cause injury."
""I do not think there was any intention to hurt me, but obviously he hurt me and then the referee and VAR made the decision to send him off," Van Dijk said. "I spoke to him. It is a chat that no-one needs to know.""
""Injuries unfortunately are part of football and hopefully with Alex it is not too bad," Van Dijk said. "He scored a great goal. It is too soon after the game to know the extent of it. He will need to be assessed. We all saw how bad it looked with Alex, but hopefully it will not be too bad.""
Virgil van Dijk said he spoke to Xavi Simons after the midfielder received a red card in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham and insisted there was no intent to cause injury. Simons was sent off after a VAR review showed he had dragged his studs down the back of Van Dijk's calf. The dismissal helped Liverpool claim victory, moving them to fifth while Spurs dropped to 13th. Alexander Isak scored but was forced off after a collision and will need assessment. Liverpool remain unbeaten in six matches but faced a chaotic final period against a depleted Spurs side.
