REUTERS: Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said he does not expect central defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez to be fit enough to play in the rescheduled European Championship in June and July. Dutch international Van Dijk hurt his knee following a poor challenge by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in October and needed surgery, while Gomez also underwent a knee operation after picking up an injury while training with England. But the information I have in the moment is it'll be unlikely," Klopp told reporters on Saturday, adding that both players' injuries were "really serious." "The two of them (Gomez and Van Dijk) look better than Joel because he's still in what looks like skiing boots," Klopp said. Joe isn't running, Virgil's already running, but this is really a tough one."
