Liverpool have been handed an injury boost as the club have announced that midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum will travel to Qatar for the Club World Cup, despite his early withdrawal in the second half of the win over Watford on Saturday afternoon.
Wijnaldum was replaced by Andrew Robertson after going down with what looked like a hamstring injury, leaving many fans wondering if he would be out for a significant period of time.
However, it looks like the injury wasn’t serious as he has been named as part of a 20 man squad for the competition.
Dejan Lovren, however, will not be part of the squad which will fly out to Qatar as he’s been ruled out with the injury that saw him substituted during the win over RB Salzburg in midweek.

Liverpool must be very cautious with Wijnaldum as they can’t risk losing him for a long period of time.
Without knowing the full extent of the injury, we’d still prefer it if he doesn’t play the midweek game and then rests up fully for the game at the weekend, which will hopefully be the final.
