Virgil van Dijk was substituted in the first half of Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Brentford on Monday, January 2.
Though Klopp initially suggested the issue was not a serious one, subsequent tests revealed a significant muscle strain which would keep the defender out of action until mid-February.
Giving an update on Van Dijk, Klopp said;

 “Virg was a surprise for us, obviously, a big blow. He didn’t feel a lot. I took him off, actually, no risk.
“In the end, the diagnosis was pretty harsh, but we talk about weeks – more than a month. I hope it goes quick, but for now he is not available. That’s how it is. We have other centre-halves, as long as that’s the case everything is OK for the team.
“But for Virg, it’s harsh. He played an incredible amount of games over the last years. [Now] we cannot use him on the pitch at least. Off the pitch, we will do that.”
