JAMES MILNER was told one thing by Jurgen Klopp before Liverpool’s crunch clash with Manchester United. The 32-year-old was
สมัคร บอล left out of the squad after picking up a muscle problem. He was expected to fill in at right-back again for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold just as he did during the win at Bournemouth. But Klopp was taking no risks as Liverpool prepare to embark on a hectic festive schedule. Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler revealed that the German spoke with Milner before the match before confirming his absence from the squad.
“It will be an interesting issue for
สมัคร บอล Liverpool, Gary, the right-back position,” he said.
“Milner was down to play until I think this morning. He complained of tightness to his hamstring.
“He wanted to play but as we understand Jurgen Klopp said 'no, I'm not going to risk you.’”
Nathaniel Clyne returned to fitness to line up for the Reds.
Gary Neville then claimed Liverpool’s improved squad depth softened the blow of losing the experienced Milner.
“Liverpool have so many
สมัคร บอล options with Gomez. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Milner and Clyne,” he added.
Before the match, Klopp revealed why he was forced to leave Milner out.
“Millie felt a muscle a little bit and we cannot take any risk, that’s it,” he explained.
