Jurgen Klopp was back in front of the media on Friday as he previewed Liverpool’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur for the Reds’ penultimate Premier League match before the mid-season break for the World Cup.
The German would offer injury updates on Jordan Henderson and James Milner after the former missed Liverpool ’s 2-0 victory over Napoli while the other was replaced early with concussion. Meanwhile, after seeing his side return to winning ways, he was also asked about the current form of Fabinho and Darwin Nunez. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
But Klopp also went through a range of emotions as he recalled the Reds’ 4-1 defeat away at Tottenham back in 2017, explained the two reasons why he has had to keep changing formation over the past month and fumed at the scheduling of this year’s World Cup in Qatar. As a result, here’s what else we spotted from the German’s latest media briefing.
