Jürgen Klopp on Kaide Gordon’s injury nightmare: “Unlucky with some of our big prospects. They were a bit too good already for physical status [of 21s]. We thought they can help us and everyone was in the right direction then the body said no, stop. That happened to Kaide a few times.”

Jürgen Klopp:
I’m a believer we need a strong U23s, and I’ve always been surprised at their physicality. We don’t just need players out on loan.

We have a really good group and some of them we’ll see tomorrow.

Jürgen Klopp:
“Look there were a couple of times where we played last group game [when it was sorted] but not enough. We are through and that’s important to find a group who can fight and go for it in the game. I think we have found [the right group] so I hope we can use that lineup.”
