London. Liverpool coach, German Jürgen Klopp, will not be on the bench on Sunday in the star duel of the Premier League against Chelsea in London after a “supposedly positive test” for covid-19, his club announced this Saturday in a statement. .
Like Klopp, three other members of Liverpool’s coaching staff would have tested positive for the coronavirus but the club is not contemplating requesting a postponement of the match day 21 against the Blues.
Chelsea is second in the Premier League, with a point ahead of Liverpool, third.
Both need to win on Sunday to keep up with leaders Manchester City, who beat Arsenal 2-1 this Saturday and provisionally distanced with 11 points over Chelsea and 12 over Liverpool.
The wave of Covid-19 that the United Kingdom currently suffers has caused in recent weeks the postponement of 18 Premier League matches.
