Addressing that possibility, Liverpool captain Van Dijk said: "He would take it in his stride."It's down to the manager to decide the team and the gameplan for Tuesday. That's the thing we need to try and beat PSG."Confirming Ngumoha's true colors, Van Dijk added: "He's a humble kid who works hard and listens.

He has to keep going."Andy Robertson confirmed on Thursday that he would be departing at the end of the season on a free transfer after nine years at Anfield, receiving a rousing reception from the home supporters on just his seventh Premier League start of the campaign.Speaking about the left-back, Van Dijk said: "Very special. He's always been on my left-hand side on the pitch.

He's a special character."Above all, he's been an unbelievable player and still is in my opinion. The club is definitely going to miss him, but we still have the last part of the season to play and then we'll see what happens in the summer."Saturday also marked the first home fixture since Mohamed Salah similarly confirmed that he will leave in the summer, and Van Dijk believes it is crucial that the current squad begins to shoulder greater responsibility as so many seasoned players prepare to depart."It's not an opportunity, it's a must," said the defender.
