Jurgen Klopp has said he is currently preparing for crunch UCL tie against German giants Bayern Munich without having Dejan Lovren in mind.
Dejan has been out injured after pulling his hamstring on the 7th of January, and could not travel to Los Blancos for the red’s warm-weather training camp this week.
This is a big blow for Klopp since vital centre-half, Virgil van Dijk is already suspended for Bayern’s visit to Anfield next week.
His words, “I don’t want to rule it out but I cannot really plan with it,”
“He is not here [in Spain] for good reasons, because he cannot be part of training. We are back on Friday. Then from Saturday on, Dejan is back at Melwood and we will see.
“We are back on Friday. Then from Saturday on, Dejan is back at Melwood and we will see.
“But, of course, we have to prepare it differently. If Dejan gives a sign on Monday — ‘I feel brilliant’ — then we’d have to think anew.
“But at the moment we prepare the game and, in this preparation, Dejan is not involved. We have to find other solutions.”
