Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has eased concerns over his fitness by declaring himself available for the Netherlands’ World Cup qualifier in Bulgaria on Saturday.

The Dutchman left training early on Wednesday after taking a blow to the head - sparking fears he could miss the showdown in Sofia.

However, Wijnaldum has now recovered and is determined to replicate his fine club form for his country.

“When I got up I felt sick and I felt that I had to throw up,” Wijnaldum said.

“The doctor took me straight from the pitch. Fortunately, it’s a bit better.

“The nausea went away quickly so there is no problem for Saturday.”

Wijnaldum will also be involved in a home friendly against Italy next Tuesday before returning to Melwood to begin preparations for the Merseyside derby.
