The decision from the Confederation of African Football gives Liverpool an additional year to find a replacement in time for when they do eventually depart to represent their countries.

The Belgian is a Liverpool hero but has failed to kick in from a huge campaign last season in which he scored several crucial goals.
Rhian Brewster is currently scoring goals for fun for Swansea too and his name will surely be in the frame.

It will also bide Liverpool additional time to let their finances recover from the lack of match-day income.
There is still every chance they could strike in the transfer market in the coming months.
Michael Edwards may have to raise some funds from the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri and Dejan Lovren if Klopp wants to spend.
