Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Kostas Tsimikas has been ruled out of Liverpool’s impending pre-season tie with RB Salzburg.
This update comes courtesy of The Athletic’s James Pearce who relayed the German tactician’s pre-match comments on Twitter.
Tsimikas ruled out tonight with a sore knee. Klopp: "It's a knock and he can't play today. After that we'll see."

The Greek international joins Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Diogo Jota on the sidelines ahead of the Merseysiders’ upcoming Community Shield meeting with incumbent league champions Manchester City on Saturday.
It’s reassuring that the injury doesn’t sound too serious just yet and hopefully a further scan from the medical department will reveal that the former Olympiakos man will be fit and ready for the opening league game against Fulham, if not against the Sky Blues.
