Liverpool boss Klopp insists Van Dijk fit for CWC semi

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Virgil van Dijk is fit to start in their Club World Cup semi-final.

Liverpool take on Monterrey on Wednesday as they bid to end 2019 with another trophy.

There were fears over defensive stalwart Van Dijk after he missed training on Monday, with Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip already sidelined through injury.

"Virgil is fine. We have to do different stuff for different recoveries. All the rest are fine," Klopp said.

Gini Wijnaldum has travelled to Doha with his Liverpool teammates but will miss the semi-final clash.
