It's indicative of a torrid Liverpool season that a week without a game has still left the club so embattled.
The Reds head to Leeds United on Monday night having not played since that pulsating 2-2 draw with league leaders Arsenal eight days ago, yet still, Jurgen Klopp found his mood darkened during a tetchy press conference at the club's AXA Training Centre on Friday morning.
Klopp often bristles during media dealings when questions about the game he is theoretically there to preview don't come but Friday's gathering was always going to centre around talk of Jude Bellingham and the news that Liverpool will now be turning their attention elsewhere this summer.
