​ Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has refused to rule key Reds duo Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana out of Monday night's eagerly anticipated clash with Manchester United with each still working on their respective recoveries from groin injuries.





After several days of continued rumoured status updates, Klopp told the media from Liverpool's Melwood training ground on Friday, "Wijnaldum and Lallana both not ruled out".

Both midfielders have started all seven of the club's Premier League fixtures so far this season and it looks as though their inclusion in the XI to face United will come down to game-day decisions.





Defenders Dejan Lovren and Nathaniel Clyne are also working hard to be fit in time.





Liverpool go into the game three points ahead of United in the Premier League table after four straight wins and have the chance to make another early statement after beating the likes of Arsenal, Leicester and Chelsea already this season.

Klopp, having seen firsthand the importance of beating United for Liverpool supporters after last season's two legged Europa League tie, is urging his players to be ready because you can never get away from the magnitude and scale of the game.





"You cannot ignore the special circumstances of a game like this," he said.





"You have to be ready. You need to be emotional but cool, direct but patient. Like in all the games, but also the [biggest] games.





"The more interest, the more difficult it is, but the more excited everybody is. It will never, ever, be a normal game," said the 'Normal One'.
