Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk understands he is being closely watched after returning from 'a serious injury', but insists it will take time for him to return to his best as he is 'not a robot'.
The Netherlands international has been working hard to return to full fitness after sustaining ligament damage in his knee during Liverpool's Merseyside derby with Everton in October 2020.
Van Dijk has played every minute of all eight Premier League matches so far and says he is 'happy' to have been able to do so.
