Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt has revealed Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk is involved in Holland's Euros plans.

The Liverpool defender is hopeful of proving his fitness in time to play a part in Netherlands' Euro 2021 campaign, and could even yet feature for his club side before the end of the season.

Van Dijk is unlikely to be involved in any competition before May at the earliest, though there is no guarantee he will be fit for the summer tournament.

“We had a meeting, [Van Dijk] was there too," the 21-year-old said.

“He looked very good, he seemed very fresh and free. Of course, I don't know how he feels physically, he doesn't really want to put any pressure on himself either.

“He has a clear mind and looks at it day by day. He is calm and wants to see where he's at, at moment the Euros are starting.

“I think it's important for him to be calm, and to be able to recuperate from his injury without any pressure from us or from the country.

“He will decide if he will be at the Euros. If he's there, he's there. If he's not there, other guys will have to fill his shoes. But he looked well."
