Van Dijk makes feelings known about captaining Liverpool following Henderson exit
Van Dijk is expected to be named Liverpool captain by Jurgen Klopp.
“He is the one who took Jude Bellingham under his wing and is a role model for the group in his professionalism and approach to every part of his work.
“We didn’t have much experience and caps on the field so his influence before and during the game was hugely important. He helped other players get through the game.”
The England manager finally admonished those who were unhappy with the Al Ettifaq midfielder, asking them to fix up before England play against Italy at the same venue, saying, “Some people decided to boo, I don’t understand what that is for. We play Italy here on Tuesday, let’s get behind this team.”
Henderson is likely to play again when England hosts Italy for the first time since the Azzurri won the 2020 Euros at Wembley on Tuesday.
