Van Dijk is in the early stages of recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during October's Merseyside derby against Everton, and is expected to be ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Wijnaldum and Van Dijk enjoy a close friendship both at Liverpool and on international duty. Speaking to JOE last year, Wijnaldum said Van Dijk is "a really funny person."
"I've worked with him with the national team, so I already knew what kind of player he is.
"I knew that when he came, he could transform the back line, but also the line in front of him.
"The way he puts everyone in position helps the whole team, so he's a leader in that way."
