Yep, I mean he's 29 years old. He doesn't have too many Euro's left in him.
Half decent Dutch team too, although potentially Shit behind closed doors tournament. You know yourself he’ll be desperate for a game of football as soon as he’s allowed to, good luck to whoever tries to tell him no in the summer if he feels ready.
Wouldn't he need to be cleared by our medical team given he's currently unavailable for selection. I know the Dutch national team could call him up but unless he has completed his rehab and the club is 100% satisfied with his condition we wouldn't be obliged to release him.
This does not look like someone who won't be fit in a month.
LFC won't be able to stop him.
Have I missed something? I don't get it.
The video is from last week
LFC always seemed to post a video of Virgil inching closer to fitness every time we lose.
There have been a lot of videos.
And withstanding the sort of impact Coady's knee took last night.
He’s gonna be back for sure.
... put together.
Actually I don't think that's the case. If we say he's not ready the Dutch National team doctor is the one who ultimately makes the call.
Just like Keita and his national team.
And Sturridge.
Virgil van Dijk is on a collision course with Kop boss Jurgen Klopp over the Euros.
Klopp insists he wants defensive rock van Dijk to focus on a full pre-season with Liverpool before kick-starting his career again after a career-threatening anterior cruciate knee injury against Everton last October.
But five months into his recovery, sources in Holland say the strong-willed Dutch defender has targeted the delayed Euros for a comeback - and has far from given up on playing at the tournament which begins in June.
Holland boss Frank de Boer has assured van Dijk he'll save a place in his squad for the defender after being told by the 29-year-old star the Euros are still on his agenda.

Running slowly in a straight line and then easing to a controlled stop. That really isn't anything that suggests he's close to a return, its very basic rehab work. When you see him sprinting, jumping, pivoting sharply, quickly change directions then he will be about 6 weeks away from a return assuming he comes through full contact training without any issues. So far we've seen no evidence that he's capable of any of that stuff yet.
There are pictures on his Instagram of him doing other exercises on the training pitch.
yes but none of those exercises are significant in terms of his progress, it's just him kicking a ball, stretching or running in a straight line.
He could still make it, the Euros are 11 weeks away, I'd assume he would have to be able to complete some warm up games first or it would be far too big a risk to take a player that hasn't played in 9 months. But I'd be amazed if he's back playing in 4 - 6 weeks like some people are speculating.
If he gets to May and he hasn't made it onto the pitch then his chances will be pretty slim.

Fuck the Netherlands and their Euros ... I just want him back for the CL Final.
Exactly, it's all straight line stuff from what I have seen, no explosive exercises in multi directions.
I'd be amazed of he plays for NL this summer
fuck the euros, bin it
I'm not saying that he'll be back playing, maybe fit wasn't the right word. I think he'll be back in training in about a month.
Would you take him back for the CL if it was against City, we won but he did his knee again?
Frank de Boer has said that VVD is still around 8 weeks away from being fit, and that he is not counting on him for the Euros this summer.

So he's 8 weeks away from being match fit?
I think DeBoer is being nice and doesn't want to cause a rift with Liverpool now.
In 8 weeks time he'll probably be invited to train with the his national team, play one or two friendlies. They'll assess him them then.
Boom, team captain Van Dijk.
