"Thiago Not Ready" | Jurgen Klopp Pre-Match Press Conference | Man City vs Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp confirmed Thiago will not be back for Sunday’s massive Premier League match at Manchester City at his final pre-match press conference at Melwood.

Klopp, who will soon move his first-team squad and coaching staff to the club’s new training ground in Kirkby, did not put a timescale on the Spanish midfielder’s return.

But he did reveal Thiago will not be ready for the trip to City, which the Liverpool boss called the ‘most difficult game in world football’.

In a wide-ranging press conference, Klopp also spoke about the impact of Diogo Jota, the form of Joe Gomez since Virgil van Dijk’s injury, how many teams will battle for the title Liverpool are defending, why Roberto Firmino remains such a crucial player, and his thoughts on leaving Melwood.
