Liverpool FC’s Jürgen Klopp to miss Chelsea FC fixture!

Jürgen Klopp will miss Liverpool FC’s Premier League fixture against Chelsea FC on Sunday, January 2 after returning a suspected positive COVID-19 test result.

The Reds manager, who reported mild symptoms ahead of the fixture, is now isolating.

Assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders will therefore lead the team for the 4.30pm GMT kick-off at Stamford Bridge.

Testing of the entire first-team set-up has revealed no further positive cases within the playing squad in addition to the three confirmed by Klopp on Friday.

Three backroom staff members have returned suspected positive results, however.
