An international tournament in the middle of the season is a nightmare for club managers concerned about injuries, but Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp promised that his team will stay in touch with him often and keep him informed of any fitness concerns.
Juergen Klopp says the Liverpool players travelling to Qatar will update him on their fitness
While the rest of the club will train in Dubai during the World Cup, seven Liverpool players have been called up by various national teams. Although Klopp claimed to have “no notion” about the lineup he would choose for the match, communication with his players would undoubtedly be helpful. Liverpool’s season continues on December 20 with a League Cup last-16 encounter against Manchester City.
At the World Cup, we have seven players. They are significant participants. The guys must text me right away after a game if there are any problems, as is the case with international matches, according to our clear policy, Klopp told the media.
The WhatsApp group will go completely nuts, so it is obvious whether they are winning. Anyone who has to leave the World Cup early may join us because we’re just nearby in Dubai. One of the causes we visit there is because of that. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool was selected for the England team after being benched earlier this year during the Nations League campaign, and manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his happiness for the 24-year-old.
On Saturday, Liverpool will visit Southampton in a league match. Nathan Jones, the new Saints manager who took over for Ralph Hasenhuettl after the latter was fired after nearly four years with the team, will be in charge of his first Premier League game.
With 12 points, Southampton is in 18th position overall, seven points behind Liverpool in eighth place, under the direction of the former Luton Town manager.
Hasenhuettl, in my opinion, performed a superb job (at Southampton). They were incredibly driven, and if they displayed anything, it was attitude, according to Klopp. Although Jones doesn’t have much time to make many changes, we always anticipate a motivated opponent. We’ve studied them, half Saints and half Luton. This season’s second half is what we want to end on a good note.
