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.

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.
