His return to Liverpool training now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he continues leading the club's back line heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League season.

Plays possible final World Cup game Van Dijk generated six clearances in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss versus Morocco.
Impact Van Dijk didn't leave the field Monday, but was also not one of the five players chosen to take a penalty kick for the Dutch as they exited the tournament. This comes in a match where Van Dijk found himself with plenty to do, recording six clearances as Morocco stayed active near the Dutch box. The defender did see a pretty good World Cup in what could be his last at age 34, although he could have one more in the tank. That said, he ends with one goal on two shots and one assist on a chance created in the attack to go along with one tackle, three interceptions and 30 clearances in the defense.

Sets up teammate against Tunisia Van Dijk assisted once to go with one tackle (one won), one interception and eight clearances in Thursday's 3-1 victory versus Tunisia.
Impact Van Djik wasn't affected by a recent hip ailment, was commanding as usual in the back, registering exactly eight clearances and one interception for the third contest in a row, and teed up Brian Brobbey with a perfect flick-on in the opposing box. He was particularly brilliant in the air on both ends. He has also scored once and notched two shots (both on target) so far, but the Netherlands have conceded in every game.

Trains fully Monday, no issues van Dijk trained fully on Monday without any issues and will be an option for Thursday's clash against Tunisia, according to ESPN NL.
Impact van Dijk had revealed an unusual knock to his hip during Saturday's victory over Sweden that briefly left him unable to feel his thigh, but his complete participation in Monday's session puts any lingering concern to rest. The captain is now fully available for the Netherlands' final group stage fixture against Tunisia on Thursday.

Impact van Dijk was checked on by referee Michael Oliver during the match but quickly insisted he could continue, going on to contribute eight clearances and one interception while completing 75 passes, the most of any outfield player on the pitch. The Netherlands captain's situation will be monitored over the coming days, though his own assessment suggests there is no serious cause for concern heading into the final group fixture against Tunisia on Thursday.

'I Couldn't Feel My Leg': Virgil Van Dijk Suffers Injury Scare In Win vs. Sweden
Eight clearances in win van Dijk generated eight clearancesand one interception in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus Sweden.
Impact van Dijk anchored the Dutch defensive line with authority in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sweden, contributing eight clearances and one interception in a match where Sweden's pace and directness, particularly from Alexander Isak, regularly tested the backline despite the comfortable scoreline. The Liverpool captain also completed 75 passes, the most of any outfield player on the pitch, maintaining his composure in possession under pressure and organizing a defensive structure that could have been exposed more severely had Bart Verbruggen not been so sharp throughout the first half. Having now won both group games and topped Group F, van Dijk heads into the knockout rounds as the most experienced and reliable leader in the Dutch squad, and his aerial dominance and reading of the game will be essential when the margins tighten in the round of 32.

Scores header against Japan van Dijk scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Japan.
Impact van Dijk gave the Netherlands the lead in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan, arriving at the back post in the second half to power home Ryan Gravenberch's precise delivery with a commanding header, a moment that briefly suggested the Dutch were on course for a winning start to their World Cup campaign. The Liverpool captain led the backline with authority for the majority of the match, winning his aerial duels and organizing the defensive shape, but was part of a collective defensive failure on Daichi Kamada's deflected 89th-minute equalizer that will need addressing ahead of the next group game. His leadership, aerial dominance and ability to carry the ball out of defense remain indispensable to this Dutch side, and tightening the backline on set-pieces will be the priority for Koeman before their next fixture.
