Jurgen Klopp has refused to be drawn on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi’s futures at Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp said: “It’s a completely normal situation. We don’t talk about or have to talk about the potential of these boys or whatever. It’s about what makes sense for both sides in six or 18 months. It’s not important at the moment at all. In the moment it’s actually important how can you contribute in the moment when you play. It’s not only the two players which you mentioned but we will not stay together forever. That’s how it is and if somebody wants to go somewhere else, we have to find a solution. If we want to have somebody from another club, we have to find a solution for it. But it has nothing to do with now. I don’t plan with players in the case of the others cannot play. It’s about how you play in the moment and then you are in the starting line-up. If your contract expires in two months, in four days or in five years, it makes absolutely no difference. They are all important but not because they are happy when they don’t start. They are important because they can really contribute in a moment when they start or when they come on and that’s why they are Liverpool players.”
