Its a process of deduction. Why you expect anyone to have reported it when they can't even get the information right about his injury when 'reporting' is unknown to me..

Virgil van Dijk: Southampton to report Liverpool over approach
Virgil van Dijk joined Southampton from Celtic for £13m in September 2015
Southampton will report Liverpool to the Premier League over an alleged illegal approach for centre-back Virgil van Dijk, reports BBC Radio Solent.
The 25-year-old wants to move to Anfield if he leaves St Mary's.
The £50m-rated Netherlands defender signed a new six-year contract last year, having joined Southampton from Celtic for £13m in September 2015.
Liverpool are yet to formally approach Saints to ask for permission to speak to Van Dijk.
The Reds refused to comment on renewed speculation on Monday, while Southampton are adamant they do not need to sell the defender.
Saints are irritated by what they see as an attempt to unsettle Van Dijk and are ready to reject an official offer.
Chelsea and Manchester City have both been heavily linked with the Dutchman, but City's interest has cooled as they are not prepared to pay as high a fee as Liverpool.
Former club Celtic are also understood to have a 10% sell-on agreement.
Van Dijk missed the final five months of the season after sustaining an ankle injury following a challenge by Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in Southampton's 3-0 win at St Mary's on 22 January.
It forced him to miss Southampton's EFL Cup final loss to Manchester United at Wembley.

Shameless. Southampton talked to Gabbiadini and agreed everything with him before contacting Napoli. And it was widely reported. And they neither expected nor got reported. We've been targeted aggressively on this subject ever since the Ziege transfer, and we shouldn't have just crumbled into contrition then, either. If clubs think this is an option they can try against us, we need to show we'll do it against them. Just about any transfer will do - it happens with nearly all of them. It's high time the rules were either clarified and made transparent, and enforced every time, or just scrapped. These arbitrary and isolated explosions of indignation are ridiculous.
I've provided a view on Van Dijk's injury situation having looked at all the publicly available info. Looking at what type of injury it is, how surgery is rare for a ligament injury, looking at the medical studies on athletes that have that injury and how they do and don't return from it.
You might recall nobody was reporting Henderson had plantar fasciitis when i said thats exactly what it sounded like he had, as well as saying that it was likely to be something that is an ongoing problem. And that seems to have been borne out.
I haven't quoted some know nothing knobhead on twitter. But if you want i can post it all on twitter and provide you a link. I know you'd believe it then.
Waste of time me going on it then!
DONUTS FIRED!!
Chocolate biscuit cake this morning.
Chocolate biscuit CAKE??? What kind of sorcery is this?
The kind that will make you swell?
So in other words your guessing. I thought that was what you didnt like about Twitter.
Knobheads guessing and claiming they know stuff.
I better delete my Twitter account too, for fear of Rosco
It's funny because it's true!
I did wonder at what point the club that he is contracted to play for (for another four years) would be allowed to have an opinion
Jaffa cakes. Has to be
Oh FFS! It's never fucking straight forward is it. If we fuck this up I am damn well going to eat a sticky toffee pudding (with full fat vanilla ice cream) I don't care how fat I get! 😡
Think it was the same with Clyne. Will they report only us, if so, why not the other clubs who have been in contact with him?
Its also weird that some of the media reported he had told the club and his representatives about where he wanted to go.
Maybe just a big show to look better towards their own fans in regards to selling one of their top players?
Because its one thing to do it via intermediaries and retain deniability.
Its another for journos left right and centre to be lauding Klopp for persuading Van Dijk to join us before a fee is agreed.
No. Not surprisingly you've missed the point
They've become the most tetchily litigious club in the top league. I think they also reported a ref a while ago for teasing one of their players.
Clattenburg vs Lallana if I am not wrong.
Perhaps Southampton has a better bid from another club but Van Dijk isn't cooperative for whatever reason. We won't up our bid because we've talked to the player and feel confident we can get the player to dig in and force Southampton to back down on their demands, so they tie us up in this tapping up report to force us to either drop the pursuit or bring our bid closer to the other club's.
All pure spejaculation of course.
Anyway, let's just buy up Semedo for 14m euros first. I've no idea if he'll be good, but I've been watching Billions and it seems like it's quite fun to be childish when you've a bit of money to spend.

I'd prefer a baller instead of moneyball for a change.
They're not mutually exclusive
