Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will miss the trip to London on Sunday, as his team prepares to face Chelsea after he was reported to have returned a suspected positive test for Covid-19.
According to the report by BBC Sport, the 54-year-old Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is experiencing mild symptoms and is isolated, so his assistant Pep Lijnders will take charge of the visit to Stamford Bridge.
On Friday Klopp said three players had tested positive for Covid-19.
A Liverpool statement said there had been no further cases among the playing squad.
However, three backroom staff have also returned suspected positive tests.
Liverpool are third in the Premier League table, one point behind Chelsea and 12 adrift of leaders Manchester City with two games in hand on Pep Guardiola’s side.
