Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that Virgil van Dijk is unlikely to feature against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup clash next week.
The German did claim that both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson could be available for selection, with the England pair having been 'unofficially' training in Dubai following the Three Lions' World Cup defeat to France. City welcome the Merseyside club to the Etihad Stadium on Thursday for the Round of 16 clash.
Van Dijk, who was linked with a move to City prior to joining Liverpool, was knocked out of the tournament in Qatar after the Netherlands lost on penalties to Argentina at the quarter-finals stage. The Dutchman has come up against the Blues on 16 occasions in his career - winning seven times.
