# Liverpool: Fans delighted at Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez update

**A number of Liverpool supporters are delighted after Jurgen Klopp confirmed Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are in contention to face Norwich City.**

The Reds get their new Premier League season started on Saturday evening, with a trip to Carrow Road awaiting.

There is lots of excitement in the air ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, especially considering how forgettable last season was as a spectacle.

Like everyone else, the Reds had to suffer through empty stadiums and questionable VAR decisions, but on top of that Van Dijk and Gomez missed the vast majority of the season with serious knee injuries.

Fortunately, the Reds pair have worked their way back to fitness, playing a part in pre-season and looking good in the limited minutes they have had.

Klopp has now [confirmed](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/440572-jurgen-klopp-on-virgil-van-dijk-joe-gomez-and-norwich-selection-plans) that Van Dijk and Gomez are [available for selection](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1425736336154275843?s=20) at Norwich this weekend – it will be interesting to see either start the game.
