Liverpool's Potential Centre-Back Pairings Without Virgil van Dijk - Ranked

Last Updated : 19-Oct-2020 by 90min

So, what now?

Liverpool look set to be without the dominant Virgil van Dijk for a little while after the Dutchman suffered a nasty knee injury (did you hear about that?) so Jürgen Klopp now faces the unenviable task of finding a way to replace him.

There are a few senior candidates and a handful of academy options, so let's take a look at the possible options.

Let's start off with the emergency options. If all else fails, Klopp can call in Dutch teenager Sepp van den Berg.

The 18-year-old is highly rated at Anfield but is still a long way away from being ready for the first team. More academy football is needed.
