Van Dijk damaged his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) during Liverpool’s 2-2 fixture with Everton last week after a fiery challenge by Jordan Pickford on the defender in the yard.
The Ghanaian born had already expressed his love for Van Dijk last Monday after hearing the news of his injury.
"Sad and emotional when I heard the news but after prayer, I realized that Through struggles and pain we found our way to success!" he tweeted.
"God don’t make mistakes he’s been in your life since the beginning and will now get you through this my G! Everyone is behind you big man!"
