Jürgen Klopp (Reuters)
The Corona plague refuses to leave the Premier League. The virus, which has already caused a postponement of several games and even put the league’s continuation in danger for a while, continues to plague the league teams and yesterday (Saturday) it was reported that Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is also positive. The club’s announcement said: “The Reds coach who reported mild symptoms before the cycle is now isolated.”
Just remember, just yesterday the team coach reported at the press conference ahead of the meeting against Chelsea that three players were found positive for the virus in addition to a number of professional staff members. The club’s announcement also stated that in the additional examination that revealed that Klopp was positive for the virus, no other players were found on the staff who became infected.
Jürgen Klopp will miss our meeting with Chelsea on Sunday after returning a suspected positive COVID-19 test result.

At the same time, three more staff members came out with a positive result. As a result, the German coach will of course not stand on the lines in the critical top-flight encounter of the Mercedes against the Blues and will instead be coached by his assistant team-mate, Dutchman Paypin Linders.
As is well known, Klopp was one of the biggest opponents for the continuation of the English league following the significant increase in the Corona cases in the various clubs when he claimed that it is impossible to bear such a load of games with such short staffs.
The two teams chasing Manchester City saw it go on to win and open an 11-point gap at the top, after beating Arsenal dramatically 1-2 thanks to a 93rd-minute winning goal by Rodry. Chelsea have drawn three of their last four games, while Liverpool have recorded a painful 1-0 loss to Leicester and previously finished 2-2 with Tottenham. Thus, both teams know that they must win in order to challenge the Citizens, which makes the game especially critical for them.
Apart from Klopp who will be absent as mentioned, Allison and Roberto Firmino were also absent from the concluding training. Tiago Alcantara may also be absent, as can Tacomi Minamino and an original origami. On the other hand, Thomas Tuchel will be missing his defensive players, Reese James, Anders Christensen and Ben Chillwell who finished the season. Timo Werner is still in doubt and so is Thiago Silva.
