(Reuters) - Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has shaken off a minor ankle injury sustained while on duty with the Netherlands and will be available for their Premier League visit to Leeds United this weekend, manager Juergen Klopp said on Thursday. Knee surgery kept Van Dijk sidelined for most of last season and this year's European Championship where the Netherlands were eliminated in the last-16 by the Czech Republic. "With Virgil, that was obviously a scary moment, you can imagine," Klopp told Liverpool's website. Klopp said he asked Van Dijk to send a video of himself not limping, but added that the defender had assured him he was "200% fit". "Yesterday he was not here (at the training centre) but he was in Liverpool again," Klopp said.
