Virgil van Dijk handed Liverpool another injury scare against Nottingham Forest as Arne Slot was left visibly angry amid his side's struggles at the City Ground.

The Reds were handed a big blow just moments before kick-off when Florian Wirtz picked up an injury during the warm-up, with the German international withdrawn from the team as Curtis Jones took his place in the starting line-up.

And things threatened to get even worse for Slot's side when Van Dijk was forced to spend some time off the bench after taking a heavy blow which required some treatment for the Liverpool captain.

Van Dijk got his head in the way of a shot from the hosts, but was clearly left shaken as he stayed down after the blow, with Liverpool's medical team tending to him on the pitch.

Meanwhile, Slot could be seen raging at the officials, with the Reds' boss seemingly not happy with some of the treatment his players were receiving from their Forest counterparts, leading to referee Anthony Taylor making his way over to the touchline to speak the Dutchman.

Although Van Dijk had to momentarily leave the field, the defender was able to make his way back on, with no signs of a major injury - no doubt much to the relief of his head coach.
