Virgil van Dijk & Joe Gomez unlikely for European Championship - Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says it is unlikely centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez will be fit for this summer's European Championship.

Gomez was injured on England duty in November and had an operation to repair a tendon in his left knee.

"Joe is not running, Virgil is already running but this is a real tough one," said Klopp.

The Euros are taking place between 11 June and 11 July, having been delayed by a year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Talking about Van Dijk and Gomez being involved at the tournament, Klopp said: "It is not my decision but, to be honest, the information I have at the moment is that it will be unlikely.
