The defender thanked him on social media and announced that he has already started his rehabilitation process with a specialist
The defender had to be helped off the field within the first quarter of an hour of his team’s 2-2 draw against Everton after a challenge from Toffees goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Subsequent scans have confirmed that the Dutch skipper sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury, leaving him standing on the sidelines before a long break.
