Why Matip is not ready for Genk clash – Liverpool boss Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Joel Matip will not feature when they take on Genk in Wednesday’s Champions League game.

The defender picked up a knock against Sheffield United last month, which forced him to miss his side’s outings against Red Bull Salzburg and Leicester City.

Matip, however, suffered a relapse of the injury on his return to action against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend.

Klopp affirmed the Cameroon international will not play a part against the Belgian champions along with Alexander-Arnold.
