Klopp: "Van Dijk will be back in normal training next week"

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp gave a press conference on Friday ahead of the game against Wolves. The German coach said that Van Dijk, who has been injured since January, will return to training next week.

In addition, he also spoke about more players who are injured in the English team such as Diogo Jota and Ibrahima Konate.

"Generally it’s looking better. The boys are training, Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week but then the next day had again a rehab session, not because of the session the day before, it was just part of the plan. I think he will be back in normal training next week.

"Ibou is out. Virgil is getting closer, but not ready for the [Wolves] game obviously. Parts of training, I think, next week as well for Virgil. I think there is nothing else so far, but there’s still two hours before training so a lot can happen," he added.

"Ibou has a muscle injury. Again he didn’t think it was massive, it happened in the game, I asked him after the game, ‘Are you OK?’ and he said, ‘Yeah, I’m OK.’ After the game [he had] treatment, scan, bam, out," Klopp concluded.
