German coach Jurgen Klopp said today, Friday, that 3 of his players and more members of the supporting staff were infected with Corona before the match against Chelsea, but it is too early to demand that the match be postponed.
“We have three new cases of Covid-19 in the team and more cases in the support staff, so we are not experiencing our best moments at the moment,” Klopp told reporters before facing the “Blues” on Sunday in London.
He added, “I cannot reveal the names of the injured because the tests have not been completed and also the results of the smears, but you will know on Sunday through the match list.”

Asked if Liverpool should ask for the match to be postponed, Klopp said: “Not now, but who knows? A team has never had an outbreak of the virus where there are 10 or 15 players infected.
“We deal with it on a daily basis. It’s like the lottery every morning. You don’t really know what will happen after several hours,” he concluded.
It is scheduled to host Chelsea, runner-up (42 points), and third-placed Liverpool (41 points) next Sunday in the 21st round of the “Premier League”.
Manchester City leads the English Premier League standings with 50 points.
And the English Premier League decided to postpone 18 matches so far due to the outbreak of “Covid-19” and injuries in many clubs.
