Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will miss Sunday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea after a “suspected positive Covid-19 test”.

That means that assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders will lead the Reds for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
In total, three backroom staff members have the “suspected positive” tests, along with three members of the first-team squad.
Liverpool are currently third in the Premier League table, a point behind Chelsea in second and 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
