Henderson clinches 3-2 win for Liverpool over AC Milan in CL

Jordan Henderson has capped Liverpool’s second-half comeback with a brilliantly controlled finish to clinch a 3-2 win over AC Milan in the Champions League

Rested against AC Milan Van Dijk was an unused substitute during Wednesday's 3-2 win over AC Milan.
Impact Van Dijk started the first four matches of the season on top of playing with the Netherlands on international duty. Given van Dijk is coming off a serious injury, it's likely manager Jurgen Klopp is being cautious with his prized center-back. Joe Gomez made his first start of the season alongside Joel Matip, though van Dijk should come back into the starting XI for Saturday's home match against Crystal Palace.

Ready to go after international duty Van Dijk is fully fit after picking up a minor knock in Tuesday's match with Netherlands, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Van Dijk was limping around the pitch Tuesday, but he made clear after the match that he wasn't injured. It's a relief to Liverpool after he missed the majority of last season. So far, he's had a successful start to the campaign, going a full 90 in each of the first three games and there's no reason that'll change going forward.

Efficient during season opening win Van Dijk took one shot (off target), created one scoring chance and made four clearances during Satuday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.
Impact Van Dijk returned to the starting XI for the first time since rupturing his ACL last fall. This was a significant moment for Liverpool and van Dijk as they return one fo the Premier League's top defenders, who they sorely missed during last season's third-place finish. He'll continue to be a top defender throughout the season and has a good chance for another clean sheet during Saturday's match against Burnley.

Goal feast for fans as Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool win in EPL

Starting opener Van Dijk is in the starting XI for Saturday's opener against Norwich City.
Impact Van Dijk gets the start for Saturday's opener which likely means he'll be asked to go a full 90. It's a wonder what Liverpool will do with him the first month of the season, but if he's starting and going a full 90 in every match, he'll have a higher chance of re-injuring his knee, something the team surely knows.

Could start opener Van Dijk could be an option to start Saturday's opener against Norwich City, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."I think so, it looks like [they are available to start]. But how it...
Impact Klopp said Van Dijk could start, but he wasn't overly confident in the statement and trailed off, talking about how it wouldn't make sense to start him if he couldn't go a full 90. At this point, it'd be surprising for Van Dijk to start the opener following a return from an ACL injury because the more he plays, the more he's in danger of suffering a recurrence of the injury.

Starts in friendly Van Dijk started and played 43 minutes in Thursday's friendly against Bologna.
Impact Van Dijk is increasing playing time, but it's important he doesn't overextend himself, as players returning from ACL injuries are more prone to suffering a recurrence. While he's getting more time and edging closer to full fitness, it's hard to see him starting in the season opener on Aug. 14.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returns in friendly Van Dijk came on late in Thursday's friendly against Hertha Berlin, making his official return from his knee injury.
Impact This was the long-awaited return of Van Dijk, who had been out for 285 days. With a couple weeks to go before the season, he'll try to regain complete fitness and slowly receive more minutes in upcoming friendlies. If all goes well, there's a slight chance he could be starting come Aug. 14.
