Liverpool will be without Wijnaldum for Club World Cup semi-final, Klopp confirms

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Georginio Wijnaldum will sit out Liverpool's Club World Cup semi-final clash against Monterrey on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old midfielder limped off the pitch in the second half of the Reds' 2-0 victory over Watford at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

Wijnaldum was seen clutching his hamstring as he walked over to the touchline to be replaced by Andrew Robertson, but he was still named in Klopp's initial squad for their opening fixture in Qatar.

Liverpool have since learned that the Dutchman's injury is only a minor issue, meaning he shouldn't be out of action for too long.
