The Dutch soccer team defender Virgil van Dijk is fighting for his participation in the European Championship. The 29-year-old had a knee ligament injury and had an operation in October, and is now making steady progress. With the entry into team training, it will take some time, as Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp said. The Netherlands is one of Austria's group opponents on June 17th. On June 13th it will play against North Macedonia and on June 21st against Ukraine.
The Dutch team boss Frank de Boer recently said not to expect his captain for the European Championship. But if it did, it would be a fantastic bonus. Klopp on this subject: “Nobody holds him back, but you can't force it and we won't do it either. We're talking about a player and his career.” In the end, it will be Van Dijk's decision.
