Jurgen Klopp positive about Liverpool’s chances next season despite pre-season defeat

The match ended in defeat for Liverpool but Jurgen Klopp revealed the important steps taken by Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez after their return to the Liverpool team on Thursday.

Van Dijk and Joe Gomez played for the first time ever since they’ve undergone surgery on their respective knee injuries in the autumn of 2020.

Speaking after the match, Klopp stated that it was a nice feeling having both defender back on the pitch.

Klopp noted that it’s 200 and 80 something days out for Van Dijk and not much less for Gomez that they haven’t played football, so it’s nice that the reds have that first step.
