Richards Keys has joked about Liverpool's top fours hopes could unravel after throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark announced he will leave at the end of the season.
It was mutually decided Gronnemark would step away from his role at the AXA Training Centre as Liverpool look to use their own in-house throw-in coaches from next campaign.
The Dane started working with Klopp's squad in 2018 and helped Liverpool win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup during his time at Anfield.

The ECHO understands Liverpool are looking to use their own in-house throw-in coaches from next season onwards as Klopp plots a way back towards the top of English football this summer and with Gronnemark unable to visit the club's Kirkby base as often as he did at the beginning of their working relationship, it's been mutually decided that he will step now away for good.
It didn't take Keys long to make a mockery of the coaches departure from the Reds: "Oh no. What a blow at such a critical time of the season," the former Sky presenter wrote on Twitter. "You've got to fancy United for fourth now."
