“I know you don’t care and that’s the problem. Wednesday and Saturday 12.30 is a broadcaster problem and nothing else. We play against Atalanta on Wednesday and then 12.30 against Brighton.

“It’s an early Christmas present. We will show up there shaking. I think about sending the points. That’s how it is because when you go there, you can always lose a football game. That’s of course possible, that’s how it is.”

Klopp let rip at the broadcasters after Liverpool’s 3- 0 win over Leicester, although the interview was not broadcast in the UK by Sky.

Liverpool were missing 10 first- team players against the Foxes and lost Naby Keita with a hamstring injury during the game.

Klopp says injuries are hurting every club and hit back at Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder

who dismissed him as being “selfish” for wanting to bring back five substitutes.

“I’m happy about the game, but we lost another midfielder,” he said. “That’s the situation. But it’s not about us.

“I want to discuss things calmly. The only problem is, maybe it’s my language, everyone says, ‘ He talks about Liverpool’.

“I don’t talk about Liverpool, I talk about all football players.” THE Premier League confirmed eight new positive Covid- 19 tests last night. In total 1530 players and club staff were tested between Monday 16 November and Sunday 22 November.
