Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has labelled midfielder Gini Wijnaldum as the ‘most consistent player’ this season, during his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s visit to Anfield on Thursday.

The Dutchman, alongside Andy Robertson, has certainly been one of the few players to avoid injury absence this term and as such, the 30-year-old has appeared in all 26 Premier League matches.
