- Virgil Van Dijk missed Liverpool's last training ahead of Champions League tie against Barcelona

Premier League giants Liverpool are now seriously worried on the fitness of star defender Virgil Van Dijk ahead of their Champions League semifinal second leg against Barcelona.

The 27-year-old Dutch football star missed Liverpool's last training session ahead of their big match against Barcelona in which they lost 3-0 in the first leg.

Already, Liverpool have been dealt with a major blow following the injury Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino sustained which ruled them out of the clash against Barcelona.

According to the report by Mirror UK, midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Virgil Van Dijk trained on their own on Monday, May 6, ahead of the encounter.

But the report added that Liverpool have not confirmed if Virgil Van Dijk will miss the showdown against Barcelona or will play.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Klopp said: “The approach we will take is that we try to win the game, if that makes sense.

“But you cannot play against Barcelona and tell the world ‘Watch this’ and after 10 minutes we are level.

“You cannot win 3-0 in the first five minutes, even if you are 3-0 up, you haven't won it. We have to be ready to try for 95 minutes or even more,''.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Virgil Van Dijk praised Barcelona forward Lionel Messi for his performance against his side in the Champions League on Wednesday night, May 1.

Lionel Messi was superb for Barcelona at Nou Camp scoring a brace which condemned Liverpool to a 3-0 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal encounter.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
