Georginio Wijnaldum could join training immediately upon meeting up with his new Liverpool teammates in America, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed.

The Netherlands international completed a switch to the Reds from Newcastle United on Friday and will now depart for the United States and the pre-season tour.

And Wijnaldum should be fit enough to get going shortly after his arrival, the manager expects.

Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com in California: “Today was his medical. The plan is – I heard nothing else – that he will fly tomorrow morning and will then be here tomorrow and join training. We will see.

“He was in full training with Newcastle so there aren’t a lot of special things we have to do. We can involve him immediately in normal training, hopefully.”
