Jurgen Klopp had to take Virgil van Dijk off the pitch ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup final extra-time clash with Chelsea. Following Mohamed Salah's injury, the Dutchman joined the list of doubts ahead of the Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Dutchman Virgil Van Dijk was withdrawn from the field with physical discomfort before the start of extra time between Liverpool and Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

The centre-back, Liverpool's first-choice centre-back, lasted 90 minutes before being replaced by Joel Matip.

This is the second setback Liverpool have suffered in Saturday's final after Mohamed Salah's groin problem forced him off after 30 minutes.
