Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with what he's seen from Joel Matip in preseason.
Klopp confirmed Matip is the furthert along in his road to full fitness – and the centre-back went viral on social media on Friday when footage of him scoring two goals in training was published online.
The boss told the club's website: “I am not sure if we have it on camera, but when Joel scored the goal [in training], Pete Krawietz was standing next to me and said, 'Good surgery!' He is in good shape, wow.
“Joel Matip is this kind of player, who flourishes in the moment when he enters the pitch. I think nobody heard him saying a lot of things when he is stood next to the pitch, but when it is a game situation – whichever game it is – he is in.
“He missed that very much because he was out for a long time, but as I said before he was the closest of all the four long-term injuries. Trent is now in normal sessions as well and we'll see what we do with that on Tuesday."
