Jurgen Klopp could miss Liverpool game this weekend after being taken to hospital
Anfield boss absent for training and undergoes medical tests ahead of Southampton match
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was admitted to hospital on Wednesday following a health scare.
Media reports said Klopp had told Liverpool’s medical staff he was feeling ill, and the 50-year-old German was urged to go to a hospital for further tests.
“He is being assessed by doctors and will be absent from training on Wednesday as a result,” the club said in a statement.
“There are currently no plans for Jurgen to remain in hospital beyond his appointment and he will therefore return home this evening; however, he may require further check-ups in the coming days.”
Klopp’s full squad returned to Liverpool’s Melwood training ground from international duty on Wednesday ahead of Saturday’s home clash with Southampton but the players arrived with Klopp nowhere to be seen, as their coach had already been taken to hospital.
