Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who is also a Netherlands international and a close colleague of Lang, spoke about the winger after the final whistle, but played down any suggestion of blame directed at the stadium infrastructure. "It's a very big accident but it's nothing to do with the stadium, it's just an accident," Van Dijk said. "I spoke to him, hopefully he will be back on the pitch as soon as possible because we need him if he's coming to the national team next week."
