Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk caused a scare within the national team camp after revealing he lost sensation in the upper part of his leg during their 5-1 victory over Sweden. The 'Oranje' delivered an excellent performance against the Scandinavians last night, with the defender playing the full 90 minutes. Van Dijk expressed hope that the injury isn't serious, but further examinations will determine the extent of the issue.
“I took a heavy blow to my thigh and immediately after, I stopped feeling anything in the upper part of my thigh, which was a bit crazy. It’s probably just a pinched nerve. I don’t think it’s anything too bad, but we’ll find out soon,” Van Dijk explained after the match. The Netherlands' final group stage fixture is against Tunisia on Friday morning at 2:00 AM Bulgarian time.
