Klopp explains Firmino's condition before clashing with Wolverhampton and praises Jota: he makes us stronger when he plays
Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp stressed the difficulty of facing Wolverhampton next Monday in the Premier League.
Liverpool, eighth in the Premier League, is little by little away from winning the title for the second consecutive season.
Klopp said in statements to the press conference on confronting Wolverhampton: "I sympathize very much with what Nuno (Wolverhampton coach) is doing, who is doing a great job in light of a year that is strange to everyone.
He added, "You cannot replace a striker with the strength and quality of Jimenez, at the same time, it seems that the team is stable, and they perform strong in all matches, and have defensive strength."
And about Firmino's case: "Bobby was not with us against Leipzig, this means that he can not play now, he has a few days and I hope he will be good, he needs to rest and it is difficult to be ready against Wolverhampton."
And he added by talking about Jota: "He was at a great level before the injury, which makes the reality of the injury worse. He can play all three places in the attack. It makes us stronger by being with us."
He concluded: "Jota played 90 minutes against Fulham, which is not our plan for him, so he played only 60 minutes on Wednesday against Leipzig."
