Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has urged his teammates to improve after a costly defeat to Manchester City, while new £60million signing Jeremy Jacquet faces a potential season-ending shoulder surgery.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has demanded a sharper performance from his squad following a late 2-1 loss to Manchester City.
The defeat, marked by Dominik Szoboszlai’s red card and a disallowed goal, leaves the Reds reeling ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Sunderland.
Reflecting on the conceded goals, Van Dijk stated: “I keep saying it but we have to do better in this.”
Adding to Arne Slot’s woes, January recruit Jeremy Jacquet may require surgery on a shoulder injury sustained while playing for Rennes.
The 20-year-old’s recovery could sideline him for months, potentially impacting his pre-season arrival at Anfield.
Former Rennes manager Habib Beye confirmed the severity, noting: “For Jeremy, it’s his shoulder. We’ll have time to see, but it’s definitely quite serious.”
