Virgil van Dijk suffered a World Cup injury scare after Holland's 5-1 win over Sweden on Saturday night.
The Liverpool captain admitted he couldn't feel his upper leg after a heavy collision.
## What happened?
Van Dijk took a hard hit to his hip and temporarily lost feeling in his leg.

## Why it matters for Virgil van Dijk
The Dutch skipper is expected to remain a key figure for Ronald Koeman's side.
