Jurgen Klopp revelation makes Gini Wijnaldum display vs Bournemouth even more impressive. Gini Wijnaldum made a welcome return to the Liverpool lineup on Saturday, having missed Monday night's draw with West Ham .
And the Dutch midfielder produced an excellent display as the Reds got back to winning ways with a 3-0 triumph over Bournemouth at Anfield.
The ex-Newcastle man even bagged his first goal at Anfield since October 2017, netting a sumptuous chip over Artur Boruc before being given a standing ovation when replaced with 13 minutes remaining.
But speaking after the game, Jurgen Klopp revealed that Wijnaldum almost missed out on featuring again, having spent much of the recent days vomiting and suffering from diarrhoea.
“Last night Gini was not in the team hotel because he had pretty much everything you don’t want to have the night before a game!” said Klopp, paying tribute to the man who had risen from his sickbed.
“He had diarrhoea and vomiting two nights earlier so he couldn't come to the team hotel.
“That’s the news you get in the morning, before the last session of the week. Then he said after a couple of hours’ sleep that he felt really good and could play, but the doc said he is still infectious so stay away.
“I was only concerned today when he scored a goal and everybody give him a hug, to be honest! That was a problem.”
Wijnaldum isn't the only Liverpool player to have played ill this week, according to Klopp.
The German also revealed that James Milner and Virgil van Dijk both played through sickness on Monday night.
“It’s the same as Milly’s character, but nobody spoke about it,” said Klopp.
“I heard some people were critical of Milly’s performance last week which is just a joke to be honest, after all the fantastic games he’s played.
“Now Gini today, it was obvious that he was very, very good today. And that’s how the boys are. Absolutely brilliant.”
Victory over Eddie Howe's men moved Liverpool back top of the Premier League table, ahead of Manchester City's clash with Chelsea on Sunday.
