Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says he is calm about the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

The 35-year-old defender is yet to agree a new deal but insists: “I am absolutely not panicking.”

Van Dijk is currently focused on recovering his fitness after leaving the Netherlands squad. He will miss the forthcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Germany.
