How bad is the Reds' injury situation? Even midfielder Fabinho, who had been standing in for Van Dijk in defence, has been injured. Van Dijk played all 3,420 minutes of last season's title win, while Alexander-Arnold (3,176) and Robertson (3,113) were almost ever-present. Van Dijk himself was an expensive January purchase - moving to Anfield from Southampton for £75m at the start of 2018. He has impressed at Wolves since their 2018 return to the Premier League and, like Van Dijk, played every minute of the last top-flight campaign.
