Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp impressed by Ajax | Football

sport">Despite a cartload of injuries, the coach also has something positive to say. Captain Jordan Henderson is okay. It is good and good that he is back. ”

sport">He continues: “My players spend more time with our medical staff and masseurs than with me. We can hardly train. It is really a very busy period. But we’ll go for it as long as we can line up eleven players.

sport">Ajax lost 0-1 to Liverpool earlier in the group stage. Klopp knows that this could have turned out differently. “Ajax just has a good team. They are currently flying through the Eredivisie. I therefore expect a difficult match against a great team. ”

sport">Also listen to a new football podcast Kick-off with football chief Valentijn Driessen, Ajax follower Mike Verweij and presenter Pim Sedee:

Virgil van Dijk

sport">The German coach also discusses Virgil van Dijk’s injury. “Of course I also have contact with him. Given the circumstances, he is actually fine. The knee looks good, if you look at the surgery he just had. ”

sport">Henderson is currently the only player who can leave the well-stocked infirmary of the champion of England. Klopp cannot rely on Van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Joe Gomez, Naby Keïta and Xherdan Shaqiri against Ajax. Trent Alexander-Arnold has resumed training, but the match against Ajax is still too early for him.

sport">Liverpool needs a draw for a place in the eighth finals and will close the group stage next week with an away match against FC Midtjylland, which is still winless in group D.
