Jürgen Klopp issues injury update ahead of Manchester United

The Reds host Erik ten Hag's outfit at Anfield aiming to follow up their midweek victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Premier League clash is likely to come too soon for Joe Gomez, who is nearing a return from a muscle injury, while Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Luis Diaz (knee) remain sidelined.

"We had little [knocks] - should be [the same]," Klopp told his pre-match press conference.

"The last message I got, it's now early [and] I didn't see them this morning - a lot of things can happen overnight - but yesterday evening they were all fine apart from the players who are out; Thiago and Luis Diaz. Joe obviously I think is closer, but not close enough."
