Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told Sky Sports that he hates international breaks ahead of the match against Arsenal.
What’s the story?
Klopp’s Liverpool will take on Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.
The Reds will head into the match against the Gunners with confidence.
Liverpool will also be favourites to pick up all three points from the encounter at Anfield on Saturday.
However, there are a couple of injury problems.
Midfielder Jordan Henderson and left-back Andy Robertson could miss the game after returning from international duty with knocks.
Henderson was away with England, while Robertson was with Scotland.
What has Jurgen Klopp said?
Liverpool manager Klopp, who earns £10 million per year (Goal) is fuming about international breaks.
Klopp told Sky Sports: “I hate international breaks. It helped from an injury point of view but generally players would have had two days off but those with international teams would have trained pretty much the entire time
“The coaches have their own targets and very often think they have to do physical work with the players as well.
“I don’t like it, it’s not helpful and I would have loved to have played the week after (the West Ham game).”
We agree with Jurgen Klopp
Now, Klopp does complain a lot.
We love Klopp, but we have to admit that the Liverpool boss does take issues with a lot of things.
Like the timings of Liverpool games.
However, on this occasion, we do agree with Klopp.
No one likes international breaks, probably not even the players involved.
It punctuates the flow of club football and causes injuries to players.
