‘He let us know after the last game that he felt in the 60th, 70th moment his hamstring. [We] did a sweep, it’s somewhat one yet enough for now and presumably for one more week.
‘We don’t know precisely, we need to stand by and I’ve never found out about a hamstring that is just four or five days, so 10-14 days I think.’
Klopp sprung an astonishment by preferring Kelleher, who had just recently shown up for the club, all in the FA Cup or EFL Cup, in front of Adrian.

‘In any case, presently we required the regular football playing capacity of Caoimhin Kelleher.
‘He is an extraordinary shot-plug too. We settled on that choice however never know how they will adapt. I am truly content with how quiet he was and how acceptable he was.
‘Eventually, it is tied in with keeping the ball out of the net and he did that twice and he did that in an uncommon way. He will either rest truly well this evening or not in the least.’
Liverpool have Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday night and afterward close their Champions League bunch crusade with an excursion to Denmark to play Midtjylland next Wednesday.
