Jurgen Klopp thinks there is little chance that Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk would play for their countries this summer.
Both players have been ruled out for the season with knee injuries. The European Championship is set to take place in July.
“Joe is not running, Virgil is already running but this is a real tough one,” said Klopp.
“It is not my decision but, to be honest, the information I have at the moment is that it will be unlikely. It’s not that I don’t let them go, it is because of the extent of the injuries.
“We all hope they will be ready to start pre-season with us, that’s what we all hope. With Joel [Matip] it is pretty much the same. These are really serious injuries and it is now not about talking about which competition they play.
“I am always open for positive surprises and they all of a sudden turn up in team training – but no-one told me that.”
Liverpool’s season has been severely affected by injuries to key stars like Van Dijk and Gomez. It is very unfortunate but their recovery process is likely to take over a year.
