Liverpool coach Klopp provides injury update on Wijnaldum & Lovren

Liverpool will have Dejan Lovren and Gini Wijnaldum available for Tuesday's all-important Champions League meeting with RB Salzburg.

Dejan Lovren was forced off during last weekend's win over Bournemouth, while Wijnaldum played no part in the contest.

Speaking about Lovren, Klopp said: "Always you don't know exactly but it looks not too serious, it looks like a little cramp.

"Gini and Dejan are completely fine," Klopp told the club's website.

"We had pretty much a free choice apart from Adam. Adam is not coming but will be back in training on Thursday. Under pressure we probably could have used him, but we didn't want to make pressure. How I said, it's a small thing.

"It would have been maybe a risk or not [to consider Lallana against Salzburg], I'm not sure, but we decided to leave him at Melwood and then he can train with the team from Thursday on.

"He had a proper session today, will have a proper session tomorrow and then Thursday he can be with the team."
