Jurgen Klopp insists England boss Gareth Southgate shouldn’t be questioned about Qatar’s human rights issues during the World Cup.
The Liverpool manager claims the matter has nothing to do with footballers or managers, and blamed FIFA for awarding the tournament to the Middle Eastern country.
But he is adamant it should not be Southgate and his players who have to stand up and take questions on the matter over the next six weeks. Klopp said: “I will watch it from a football point of view but I don’t like the fact that players now have to send a message.
