The Reds will have to make do without touchline support from their manager when they take on the Blues at Stamford Bridge this weekend
Jurgen Klopp will miss Liverpool’s trip to Chelsea after becoming the latest Premier League manager to test positive for coronavirus.
Klopp returned a positive Covid test on Saturday morning, and will therefore be absent from the touchline at Stamford Bridge.
Assistant manager Pep Lijnders will take charge of the team, with three other staff members, as yet unnamed, also set to miss the game after contracting the illness.
The Reds’ preparations have already been severely affected, with three first-team players testing positive earlier in the week.
