Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has hit out at Sevilla stopper Joris Gnagnon after he lashed out at Yasser Larouci.

Van Dijk was furious with Gnagnon's shocking second-half kick on youngster Larouci, which saw the left-back stretchered off during the 2-1 defeat.

He is quoted by Goal: “I saw it from the side, it's not nice.

“Especially when it happens against such a young guy who is playing pretty well this season. I think it says something about him.

“You have to just deal with it, but obviously you don't want to have injuries in a game like this.

"You want to get fit, you want to get back to your best. Obviously everyone wants to win the game, but the most important thing is to get fit.

"Hopefully for Yasser it is not that bad."
