Jurgen Klopp provides update on Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold injuries

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has provided injury updates on Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold as the Reds are preparing for their Champions League clash against Ajax on Tuesday. Van Dijk suffered an ACL injury during the Reds draw with Everton last month and is expected to be sidelined for most of this season. Alongside Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold is also sidelined with an injury as well as Joe Gomez. Asked whether he had spoken to Van Dijk, Klopp replied: "Yes, of course we are in contact. Considering the circumstances, he’s doing really well. "His knee doesn’t look good, to be honest. It doesn’t look how a knee should look but it looks good for a knee with that surgery and the time he had since the surgery. "So, yeah, of course we are in contact and he is doing well. That’s true." "They are all getting closer to be back. Not close enough for tomorrow, I think," said Klopp, when asked on the fitness of Alexander-Arnold, Naby Keita and Shaqiri. "With Naby we have to check but the other two will not be ready. "Trent looks quite good but nobody gave me the green light for tonight so he will not be there and he did not train with the team. "I saw him today on the pitch doing his rehab stuff outside so that looks good but I cannot decide when this rehab stuff will be finished, I take the players when I get the green light. "That didn’t happen yet but, from my rather experienced eye, from what I saw today it will not be that long anymore with Trent." source - Metro / Join us on Telegram
