Better news on Joel Matip. The defender missed the Chelsea game due to an ankle problem but the manager is confident he is nearing a return to full fitness.
“I expect him to start the season,” said Klopp. “But for this, he has to train a little bit more. The first two-and-a-half weeks were really good, he became better and better and then he was out.
“Now I think it is a week or more he has been out. He was in a training group today and hopefully he can be back in team training as soon as possible. The season start at this moment is not in doubt.”
