However, regular starters Mane, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold and Salah were missing from the starting lineup.

Speaking at a pre-match conference, the German manager revealed the reason for this, saying:

“They are in the quarter-final for a reason. Home games are useful for them. I think we know what to expect, hope we are ready for it. Robbo is ill, it’s finally got him.

“Mo’ felt an injury again. Sadio [Mane], they have some massive games coming up. Hopefully it works out.”

The international break comes at a good time for the Reds as they play their next fixture on 2 April.

Klopp also revealed that Alexander-Arnold has a hamstring injury that could take a longer time to recover from. He added:

“Trent is out with a hamstring, so will be out for England too. Not good news, we will see how long it takes”
