Eriksson on Lallana: It doesn't matter what Liverpool boss Klopp thinks

Former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has told Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to stop complaining about Adam Lallana's injury setback.

Lallana has been ruled out for a month after suffering a thigh problem while appearing for his country in their World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania on Sunday.

“The players have to go to the national team of course, and the risk to get injured exists always when you play football," said Eriksson to talkSPORT.

“(As a club manager) you are for sure disappointed, as you're counting on your own players to be ready for the next game, but that's life in football.

“It doesn't matter if you get angry or not."
