Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to manager Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave Divock Origi out of the matchday squad against Leeds United at Elland Road at the weekend.

What’s the story?

Liverpool took on Leeds away from home at Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Merseyside club won 3-0.

Leeds played most of the second half with 10 men.

It was a pretty comfortable win for the Reds in the end.

One Liverpool player who was missing against Leeds was striker Origi.

The 26-year-old Belgium international striker was not included in the matchday squad despite not being injured.

What are Liverpool fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Liverpool fans are confused why Origi was not even included in the matchday squad against Leeds.

Well, some of them anyway.

Some Liverpool fans are wondering whether Origi will play again for Liverpool.

The 26-year-old striker is a peripheral figure at the Reds.

The Liverpool no.27 made two starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League, and made three starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League last season.

Origi was linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Rangers, Celtic and Southampton in the summer transfer window, but he is still at Liverpool.
