Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has been ruled out of Wednesday's FIFA Club World Cup semifinal against Mexican side Monterrey due to a muscle injury, manager Jurgen Klopp said.
Wijnaldum was injured in Liverpool's 2-0 Premier League win over Watford on Saturday but travelled with the squad to Qatar.
Klopp said that the 29-year-old's problem was not as serious as initially feared but that they would monitor how it responded to treatment over the coming days.
"Gini was not as serious as we thought in the first moment, so he's here doing the first recovery and then we have stuff what is necessary," Klopp told reporters on Tuesday.
