Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reported a suspected positive Covid-19 test and will miss Sunday’s Premier League game against Chelsea.
Klopp, who is isolating, was experiencing mild symptoms. His assistant Pepijn Lijnders will take charge for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool on Friday confirmed that three players and several staff members had tested positive, with Klopp declining to name them as they were awaiting PCR test confirmations.
Liverpool have not asked for the Chelsea game to be postponed and do not anticipate doing so at this stage.
