Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Xherdan Shaqiri is set to miss the start of the season.

Klopp has confirmed Shaqiri will not be involved "for a while" after tearing his calf while on Switzerland duty at the UEFA Nations League.

Klopp has revealed that he faces a race against time to be fit for the start of the campaign.

"Shaq is still injured from the national team and it will take a while until he is in again," Klopp told the club's website.

"He has a tear in his calf, so he will not be involved for a while."
