“He played an incredible amount of games over the past years so now we cannot use him on the pitch, only off the pitch. Klopp later added: “It’s a muscle thing – nothing different to say – it was one sprint too much in that moment.”Next up for the Reds is their first FA Cup tie of the season as they take on Wolves at Anfield.
