Georginio Wijnaldum has been ruled out of Liverpool’s FIFA Club World Cup semi-final with Monterrey due to injury.

However, Klopp played down Wijnaldum’s injury as not serious that Wednesday’s game will come too soon for the Dutch midfielder.

“Gini was not as serious we thought in the first moment, so he’s here doing the first recovery and then we have stuff what is necessary.

“So we will see day by day but for tomorrow night he’s not involved.”

Meanwhile, aside Wijnaldum’s injury Klopp also stated Virgil van Dijk is not currently dealing with any issue, despite the centre-half not training with the squad in Doha on Monday evening.

“Virgil is fine. We had to do different stuff for recovery for different people, so that was the reason why he was not involved yesterday in the session, but Virgil is fine. All the rest of the squad is fine.”
