Liverpool: Klopp explains Mignolet snub

27 ago 2017

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has released his usual pre-match interview with Sky Sport to explain why he decided to omit Simon Mignolet from Liverpool’s starting XI for the game against Arsenal. The omission of Mignolet came as a huge surprise as the Belgium International had started each one of Liverpool’s opening four official games this season.

“Media wil be talking about this – said Klopp – but there is nothing strange in Simon’s omission.”

“He played four successive games and I think he needed some rest, I told him my decision yesterday and that’s the only thing to know about his exclusion. There is nothing strange. Even if he is a goalkeeper he needs some rest and today he will rest.”

Loris Karius is going to start against Arsenal instead of Mignolet. Calciomercato.com is following the game live and this is the link to read all the live updates from Anfield.
