'I think we can play both' - Wijnaldum confident of Liverpool's double title bid

Georginio Wijnaldum says Liverpool are good enough to challenge domestically and in Europe after climbing off his sick bed to help the Reds maintain their challenge for the Premier League.

Wijnaldum was unable to join up with the rest of the Liverpool squad at their team hotel in the build-up to Saturday’s game with Bournemouth after suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting.

However, the Netherlands international recovered in time to take his place in the starting line-up and scored a fine second goal as Jurgen Klopp’s side eased to a 3-0 win.
