On the transfer window
Klopp has admitted he won't rule out signing a centre-back with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez out long-term but thinks it is unlikely.
"I can’t say definitely we won’t be bringing in [CB] in but it’s just not likely," he said.
"If world was in a normal place everything would be fine and with 3 CBs injured would we do something, yes definitely. But we are not in that situation.
"I don't know if something will happen or not. It would be a short-term solution and that is not right, it doesn't help really. So we deal like we have so far.
"Not the best moment for the whole planet so why would it be for a football club?"

He said: "I've said everything. How much I like the person and player. Nothing else to say. If there's a decision, you would know. Rest is nothing to say."
Trent Alexander-Arnold form
Klopp explained: "If you make people used to that level he's shown, a game like [Southampton] was obvious case of not his best.
"He knows that. He has played some good games too. He started, was out with covid then had injury, no pre-season. All these things."
