Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp says it is vital that Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge keep on getting continuity into their games.

The attacking pair, along with Roberto Firmino, started in Thursday night's 1-0 Europa League win over Augsburg and their presence was noted by Klopp who feels it is important for these types of players, who have spent time on the sidelines with injuries this season, to get regular game time at such a crucial stage of the campaign.

"That's important, that's what every player would tell you. You need to know you can carry on in a situation where it's a little bit harder," he said.

"Phil had one or two situations after challenges where he felt this or this, but always when you ask him [he says he is fine]. We need to find new faith or trust in the body of the players.

"We are all like this – 'oh my God, what happened?' Nothing, it's only normal in football that you have a few situations like this. That was really great.

"They [Coutinho and Sturridge] are both very important for us but we need them in best shape. You can only get this shape through training and matches."
