Jurgen Klopp gives injury update to Liverpool ahead of Man Utd after another injury scare

Jurgen Klopp revealed his Liverpool side escaped their Europa League loss to Royal Union Saint-Gillois unscathed as they beat Manchester United. The Belgians beat the Reds 2-1 after already topping Group E and moving into the knockout stages before kick-off. As a result, Klopp started at a young age of 21.9 in club and European team history. Jarell Quansah scored his first goal for the club when he equalized in the first half. But Liverpool were second best for most of the match, despite Klopp being given the luxury of keeping Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker on Merseyside. The Premier League leaders are now preparing to welcome bitter rivals United to Anfield on Sunday (16:30 GMT). And Klopp is happy that there were no new injuries against Union and#039;quite fierce and#039; a game The Liverpool manager said: andquot;I think we all saw the same game for sure, so for us it was a deserved win for the Union. Although I heard now that the first goal may have been offside, but no one can say for sure. We see it, but who cares? They are in a good place, they are top of the table, they played a stronger side, I completely messed up the team, so I think the changes we made and the amount of changes we made were too much for the pace. We had to grow into the game. I am very happy that more and more happened in the second half and that we gave a game, finally a real game. Before that they gave us the ball, they won the ball against the counter attack and to be honest it was really difficult. andquot;It was pretty intense on a pretty hard pitch. It wasn’t great and you could see how intense it was, with a couple of players having attacks for Union. So in the end we could have scored a tie and that would have been nice, we would have liked to get a point from it. For some it was a really important experience and for others it was a good pace. I’ve seen some good performances and obviously as a team it’s not fair to say they’re top of the table in Belgium and we’re coming here to bring the kids – in general it’s really difficult. But I thought we tried and it works for me. Nobody got hurt, nobody got hurt, so we recover, go home and go again. Ibrahima Konate came on at half-time against Union and was replaced by Joe Gomez. But it was not due to injury and Liverpool planned the change before the game – as well as the withdrawal of Wataru Endo for Ryan Gravenberch at the interval. Klopp added: andquot;We just wanted to share the intensity. Do I want to play Joe Gomez 90 or Ibou 90 if we had the chance to do so? [I decided] 45 and 45, the same in midfield. These changes were planned before the game, regardless of the result. We were just trying to experiment. It was clear that Jarell would continue to play if he could continue to play. That was the thinking behind it.andquot; Alexis Mac Allister (knee), Andy Robertson (shoulder), Diogo Jota (muscle), Thiago Alcantara (hip), Stefan Bajcetic (calf) and Joel Matip (ACL) are out for Liverpool.
