Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits there was a moment when he feared the club would be denied the chance to win their first league title in 30 years because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The Reds hold a 22-point lead over Manchester City and need just two more wins to guarantee a long-awaited first Premier League triumph and a first championship since 1990.

But soon after the season was suspended in March Klopp began to worry it would never happen.

Klopp had nothing to say on Chelsea’s capture of RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner, despite the player being heavily linked with a move to Anfield.

“It is funny we don’t speak about transfers we potentially do and now I would speak about a transfers of Chelsea? Funny. Why should I do that?” he said.

“I have nothing to say. Timo Werner is a Chelsea player for next season. That’s it.”
