Klopp said that although Van Dijk and Gomez's condition had improved, they still needed monitoring in the future.
"(They) look very good. I don't know when we can make some steps but this will happen in the next four weeks, of course, we will get a big step forward," said Klopp quoted by Antara from the club's official website.

Despite showing positive developments, Klopp explained that neither Van Dijk nor Gomez had been able to train fully.
The German coach explained that in the training session on Tuesday, July 13, Van Dijk and Gomez did not follow all the existing training agendas.
"So especially Virg and Joe won't have a double session now for the next few days with the team. They will have a second session today with Andreas Schlumberger, with the rehab department, physiotherapists, that sort of thing," said Klopp.
Van Dijk last season could not play regularly in helping Liverpool defend the Premier League title.
He picked up a knee injury while appearing in the Merseyside Derby against Everton in October last year.
Then in November last year, Joe Gomez suffered a serious knee injury while training with the England national team.
However, this news is certainly very encouraging for the Kopites (Liverpool fans)
