Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he doesn't believe Dejan Lovren ‘has a chance' of being fit to feature in the club’s clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
Lovren has not played for Liverpool since being substituted with a hamstring injury in the sixth minute of the FA Cup defeat to Wolves on January 7.

He was also left at home for the club's recent warm weather training camp in Marbella and instead spent time back in Croatia to see a specialist.
Having watched on from the stands in Tuesday's goalless Champions League draw with Bayern Munich, the defender now looks likely to miss the trip to Old Trafford.
Speaking ahead of the Bayern clash, Klopp told the Echo: “It was not mind games but Dejan had no chance for the game today actually, I don't think he even has a chance for the next game. He will take his time.”
The Reds are thankfully set to welcome back a fresh-legged Virgil van Dijk after the Dutchman carried out his one-game suspension in the Champions League.
