Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is “praying for a speedy recovery” for those hurt after a car ploughed into a crowd following the Reds’ Premier League trophy parade in the city on Monday evening.

A 53-year-old man was arrested after a car struck several pedestrians on Water Street, close to where the parade had finished, with 50 people injured – including one child who was seriously hurt.
