Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has called for a change to the schedule ahead of an “impossible” run that includes a double-header against Leicester City. With Covid causing chaos, the Reds manager has said his squad has been stretched too thin to play three times in seven days, starting with Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against City.
Jurgen Klopp said: “We play now on Wednesday, Sunday and Tuesday, that is impossible. We do not have the players. We could maybe have another case or two. We have to think about it, we cannot just push it all through. First of all, take away the second semi-final of the Carabao Cup. Just play once, wherever you play it I don’t care. The 26th and 28th of December is really not possible. We would prefer to play but we need some help. If we carry on we cannot carry on as usual. If we don’t play any more and have a break I am fine. But I know the problem: when do you want to play the games? It is not that easy to fit them in. We said before coronavirus that it was a bit busy and now it gives us a proper punch.”
Hopes of Wednesday’s game going ahead have been boosted after City returned to training this weekend.
