EPL: Klopp gives update on Virgil van Dijk’s injury ahead of Chelsea clash

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has said that he is not sure if defender, Virgil van Dijk will be fit to face Chelsea on Saturday.

The Dutch defender was substituted in the second half of Liverpool’s victory over Southampton last weekend.

He was absent as Liverpool were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Chelsea and has not trained this week.

“We have to wait, he didn’t train with the team so far.” Metro UK quoted Klopp as saying when asked whether Van Dijk could face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

“If Virgil is fit, he plays. If not, then obviously we have options. Virgil is a world-class player, and if you miss a world-class player always it’s not cool.

“But Lovren played his first game in 10 weeks. He played an outstanding game. Matip, two games in a row, fantastic.”
