Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says the players are right behind Joel Matip.

The defender's season is over due to an ACL injury.

Van Dijk has gone through a similar experience and wrote in today's match programme notes: "The other player I would like to mention is Joel Matip.

"Obviously, he got a bad injury against Fulham and we are all really disappointed for him, but we will all be there for him as he continues his recovery.

"As I know from experience, he will have some unbelievable people around him at the club as he puts his heart and soul into getting back to playing again, so hopefully he will come back stronger than ever."
