​Klopp taking no risks with Liverpool midfielder Lallana

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will not risk Adam Lallana at Anfield on Wednesday evening in the Champions League clash with Spartak Moscow.

The 29-year-old was absent for the away wins at Stoke and Brighton in the last week after making his first appearance of the season as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea last month.

"He is keen, how you can imagine, but meanwhile he is old enough to know there are a lot of important years to come for him, a lot of important games to come for him, and it's not about the next one - it's about being best prepared for all the rest," Klopp explains.
