Holland coach boss De Boer set for talks with Liverpool defender Van Dijk this week | OneFootball

Holland coach boss Frank de Boer says he'll call Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk this week about his recovery from knee surgery.

Van Dijk has been out since suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage sustained against Everton at Goodison Park back in October.

Hopes have been raised in Holland that he could be available for next month's Euro's after the defender posted a video earlier this month of him sprinting on the pitch at the club's AXA Training Centre.

De Boer, who will name his preliminary squad this Friday before confirming his 26-man squad at the end of the month, is leaving the door wide open for the centre-back to represent his country this summer.

“I think he has to decide, it is his career," he told ESPN.

"I can imagine that he is in a dilemma. Can I mean something for Orange? I hope he has made giant steps in his rehabilitation."
