PREMIER - Klopp speaks on key players ahead of Palace clash

Published on: 17 September 2021

Jürgen Klopp gave a press conference before of Liverpool's match against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Concerns about Roberto Firmino's fitness:

“He’s not ready yet. He will be back training with the team at some point next week.”

On Divock Origi:

“It was absolutely exceptional to come in and play like that.

“Divock really showed up in training and that’s why I decided to start him in the game.

“He was really focused. He helped us a lot offensively and defensively. Really happy for him.”

On Sadio Mané's current form:

“Sadio looks really sharp. The important stuff is the amount of chances he’s getting.

“He’s in a really good moment – physically and mentally.”

Virgil van Dijk on taking a break:

“I’d say it’s a short-term thing.

“We’re still in an extended pre-season for him. I have to be sensible in these moments. We had 3 long-term injuries with Joel (Matip), Joe (Gomez) and Virgil.

“It was the right thing to do.”
