Jurgen Klopp offers view on international players and quarantining

Arrivals from red-list travel-ban countries, including Brazil and Portugal, are currently subject to 10 days' hotel confinement.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will not allow players to travel to international matches later this month if they have to quarantine on their return.

Under current coronavirus guidelines arrivals from red-list travel-ban countries are subject to 10 days’ hotel confinement, which would apply to the likes of Brazilians Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino and Fabinho, Portugal forward Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane (Senegal) and Naby Keita (Guinea).

Due to the special circumstances, FIFA has given clubs dispensation to prevent players who may be affected by the regulations from joining up with their countries.

Klopp fully intends to apply it, saying: “I think all the clubs agree that with the same problems we cannot just let the boys go and then sort the situation when they come back by placing our players in a 10-day quarantine in a hotel, it is just not possible.

A first victory in five league matches has boosted Liverpool’s top-four hopes and a win over Chelsea, now coached by Thomas Tuchel – Klopp’s successor at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund – would further enhance their chances.

“I think a week ago we were out, now we are around again so for us the challenge and the job is clear: we have to win games, as many as possible, to make it in the top four,” said the German.

“We’ve known each other for a long time, he worked for Mainz as I did, he worked for Dortmund as I did, so a lot of people we know are the same.

“I think he is an outstanding coach and it will be tricky to play his team, like it always was.”
