Georginio Wijnaldum included in Liverpool squad for Club World Cup

In a major boost for Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has been declared fit to travel with the squad to take part in the Club World Cup in Qatar (h/t BBC).

There were worries that he may miss out on the tournament after he was taken off injured in the game against Watford at the weekend.

Having already lost Fabinho to an injury for the rest of the year, Liverpool can ill afford to lose another player with a hectic schedule in the coming weeks.
