Jürgen Klopp's LFC injury update ahead of United clash

Dejan Lovren will miss Liverpool's clash with Manchester United on Sunday, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed.

The defender is continuing his recovery from a hamstring issue sustained against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup on January 7 and won't be available for the trip to Old Trafford this weekend.

Elsewhere, long-term absentees Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster are the Reds' only other players ruled out of the contest with United.

Klopp told his pre-match press conference on Friday morning: “Dejan is not in, Joe is not in, but I think pretty much all the rest are in training at least.

“Rhian Brewster is still only in little parts [of training], Ox in bigger parts but not ready to play. The rest have trained and will train with us, but there is still a little bit of time.

“Usually now I get the message that somebody is ill in the last three weeks, so I am still a bit nervous about that!

“But until now I didn’t hear anything.”
