Jürgen Klopp's update on Gomez, Van Dijk, Henderson and Matip fitness
Jürgen Klopp reported good progress is being made in the rehabilitation programmes of Liverpool’s long-term injury absentees.
Work is ongoing with the club’s medical team at the AXA Training Centre as Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip continue towards full fitness.
Asked about rehab footage Gomez posted on his Instagram account on Friday, Klopp told his pre-Leeds United press conference: “They all are [on track], Joe as well. Joe is outside running now and all these kind of things, which is obviously always a big step after all injuries.
“He looks fine when he is running, no real reaction in the knee, which is very important. It obviously still takes time but he’s in a good way. Like Virg, Joel and Hendo [are].”
Meanwhile, Liverpool have no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to Elland Road on Monday evening.
“No, [there is] nothing,” said Klopp. “I only thought [about the question] because usually I always have some, [but] no new ones.”
