Liverpool captain Van Dijk 'very happy' for Gomez

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is delighted for Joe Gomez after his England recall.

Van Dijk was confident Gomez's form would warrant a Three Lions return.

I'm very happy for him." Van Dijk said. "To be honest me and Ibou (Konate) have been saying for quite a while he definitely shouldn't book any holidays in this international period as he will definitely be in [the England squad].

"Still, it's been such a long time for him, the work he has put in day in, day out - him and his family - not many people see but he has been outstanding the whole season already and I'm delighted.

"Let him get his chance and then he will show he should stay in the squad."
