Lijnders shares Robertson, Tsimikas recovery timeline, gives Van Dijk, Szoboszlai update

Pep Lijnders has provided injury updates on four Liverpool players.

"Virgil is back," the Reds' assistant manager said of Van Dijk, who missed the Arsenal game after contracting a virus.

"He did some runs yesterday on the pitch, looked good again. So he will be back in the squad, he recovered well. So it really helped him not to travel to London.

"Dom [Szoboszlai] is progressing well on the pitch, he's running, so let's see. Not available for tomorrow."

Szoboszlai suffered a hamstring injury against Newcastle.

"And then we have Robbo, he's almost at the three-month mark, so he will get checked by the surgeon," Lijnders added.

"And if he does that scan and we see everything [so] that we can really progress him, he will go to Dubai for a week to do proper volume sessions, proper sessions, so that will be good for him. Then we see the three-month-mark scan and then we can see how quick he can go into contact again.

"Same for Kostas. Kostas is progressing really well, really quick. So hopefully both of them – Robbo and Kostas – will be back at the end of this month to train with the team."

Both left-backs are currently unavailable, with Tsimikas returning to individual training earlier this month after suffering a collarbone injury in December. Robertson picked up a shoulder injury in October.
