Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has, on Saturday evening, provided an explanation for the absences of two important members of his squad for the club’s latest outing.
Klopp and co, of course, are currently locked in action.
Fresh off an alarming Champions League drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid in midweek, the Reds have turned their attentions back towards matters on the domestic front, in a Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace.
As things stand late in the first-half at Selhurst Park, the two sides remains locked at 0-0, amid what has proven an evenly-contested affair.
Efforts on Liverpool’s part to carve out an all-important opener, though, as alluded to above, have come without the contributions of two high-profile members of Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
The pair in question? Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez.
And the German went on to reveal that Nunez and Gomez were unavailable for selection owing to respective injury problems:
Klopp on Gomez and Nunez absences: “They are both injured. So, Darwin had shoulder problem from the Newcastle game. [It] worked out for Real Madrid but then [he] got another knock there, felt it again and more so there was no chance for today.”https://t.co/r4ZMt0f2Ui
