Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has paid tribute to Bayern Munich veteran Arjen Robben.

Robben won't be fit for tomorrow's Champions League second-leg clash.

Van Dijk said: “Arjen has been fantastic for years. I have seen him closely with the national team. He is a fantastic professional. He is a bit unhappy with his injuries, but he has shown how good he is during his career.

"He still has a lot of quality," continues Van Dijk about his countryman. “He is very dangerous. His left foot is something special. He has been doing it for years: cutting inside and finding the top corner with his left."
