Jurgen Klopp impressed with Liverpool response to Virgil van Dijk loss

Midfielder Fabinho has been tasked with filling in for the injured Dutchman

Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool are doing as well as can be expected without "the best defender in the world". 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been impressed with how his side have coped in the absence of Virgil van Dijk.

The Reds recorded hard-fought victories against Ajax and Sheffield United last week without their talismanic central defender, who requires knee surgery and faces several months out after being clattered by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford during the Merseyside derby on October 17.
