Klopp: Karius concussion explains his mistakes

"They have to do a lot of fitness work in the United States of America and we will see when they can play or whatever".

Sturridge came off the bench to score twice for the Reds, and Klopp has said that the 28-year-old "looked really good" on his return to the team.

"Trent [Alexander-Arnold] won his first cap before the World Cup and then played his first World Cup game - I waited 51 years for that and he has done it already after 18".

New Liverpool signings Naby Keita and Fabinho are in line to make their Liverpool debuts in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Chester FC.

The Reds reached a £48m agreement with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig last summer to sign Keita before the versatile midfielder spent the 2017-18 season at the German club. The Reds, who already have new signings Naby Keita and Fabinho with them, are ready for the upcoming campaign and are set to stick with the same goalkeepers as previous year. Firmino is a fantastic player and I'd have him in the team all day long but he's not a No 9.

"That's where I'd like us to have a centre-forward".

Asked whether they could close the 25-point gulf to City, having been only one of two sides to beat them in the league, Gerrard added: "The million dollar question".

And although the duo are still on their vacation days, Klopp revealed that both Salah and Mane have already started their preparations for the new season. I thought it was too late, you can not check that but now I know a concussion isn't coming and going in a day - if you have one, you see it days later.

He said via the Press Association: "Karius, to be fair to him, was getting stronger and stronger as the season when on". "It feels a bit like I am familiar with everything and I never left, so it was easier for me to integrate back into the group". Is he capable of parking that up, moving on and drawing from the experience?

After signing the contract, he said: "I see that something really big is growing here".

The goalkeeper had been elbowed by Sergio Ramos prior to his first mistake, and tests after the final found that he displayed 26 of the 30 signs of concussion.

"They come back before the tour to America - the 20th, I think".

"He is young so we don't want to bin a good goalkeeper because he does have the potential to be very good".
