Jurgen Klopp explains Fabio Carvalho absence and admits Liverpool youngster 'not in a happy place'

Jurgen Klopp has explained the absence of Fabio Carvalho from the Liverpool squad - but is adamant the youngster has done "nothing wrong" as he goes through a necessary difficult period in his fledgling career.

With Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk and Roberto Firmino back available from injury, Carvalho was among a number of senior players absent from the bench for the 2-0 home derby triumph against Everton on Monday.

The 20-year-old is likely to again miss out when Liverpool travel to Newcastle United on Saturday evening, despite having scored a dramatic injury-time winner in the Anfield meeting between the teams back in August.
