Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided assurance regarding the fitness of Kostas Tsimikas in anticipation of the impending clash against Manchester United this weekend.
The confirmation comes following Liverpool’s resounding 6-1 victory over Sparta Prague in the Europa League, securing their progression to the next round.
Amidst a season marred by injury setbacks, Klopp’s update on Tsimikas offers a glimmer of hope for Liverpool fans.
Klopp, who has struggled through numerous key player absences in recent months, seems to be witnessing the gradual return of his sidelined stars.
Despite initial concerns during the Sparta Prague match, particularly with Bobby Clark’s ankle discomfort and Tsimikas appearing to struggle towards the end, Klopp has allayed fears with his post-match reassurance on TNT Sports.
Klopp’s words directly addressing Tsimikas’ condition were succinct yet reassuring,
“No, I think he is fine. I’m not sure what happened to him, if he had a knock or whatever, but he should be fine.”

With Liverpool’s schedule packed with fixtures, including the impending FA Cup showdown with Manchester United, Klopp is expected to field a formidable starting lineup against their arch-rivals.
However, even if Tsimikas is deemed fit, he may not secure a starting position, given Klopp’s inclination towards a cautious approach with returning players.
