Jurgen Klopp publishes an update of Virgil van Dijk before the shock of Leicester

Jurgen Klopp gave Virgil van Dijk the green light to play against Leicester.

And it's a huge relief for the Liverpool boss, who was facing a migraine defensive with his right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold still injured and his replacement James Milner suspended.

Van Dijk suffers from a serious illness and was afraid to miss the match after being stripped of his training last weekend.

But the manager revealed that his key player, DID, was training Monday, although he was far from the rest of the first team, and that he would also participate in a session on Tuesday afternoon, which would allow him to play Anfield.

This would also allow Fabinho – who was also suffering from an illness, but gave everything yesterday – to move from half of the center to the background, a position he regularly occupies with Brazil.

Speaking about his injury list, Klopp explained that a week off in good weather in Dubai, where his team had a lot to do in downtown to recover, allowed him to keep most of his team fit.

"Virgil was a little sick but he trained yesterday, so we'll see. He's going to train today, so we'll see him, "he said.

"Gini (Wijnaldum) trained, Fabinho is going to train today, Trent (Alexander-Arnold) is getting closer and everything looks very positive, but he will not be ready for tomorrow. Joe (Gomez) is a no. "

Klopp joked that her team deserved praise for the way they had handled a social and training trip to Dubai without appearing in the media: "I'm proud of them, we were able to do it in 2019. .. really nothing on the social media ?! "

But he added that the break was serious for the Reds. The Reds were able to take advantage of the time they had to train the players who played frequently this year and needed recovery.

"It was good that we did not have to play because it would not have been possible for some players. We now have a few days and we could wait a few players, which is important. We will see who can play.

Klopp refused the choice of the future player in the absence of Alexander Arnold and Milner, although the clearest option would be to play against Fabinho, with Wijnaldum in the midfield alongside from Jordan Henderson.

When asked who was going to play at the back, he replied, "You have to wait until tomorrow! We will play with a right back … or a rear winger. Wow! Oooooooooh !! "
