Liverpool boss Klopp frustrated with Shaqiri woes

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted frustration with Xherdan Shaqiri's injuries this season.

The Switzerland international has missed 17 games this season through fitness issues and looks likely to sit out the FA Cup visit to Shrewsbury Town on Sunday afternoon.

“It is not cool, absolutely not cool but maybe there are different reasons," Klopp said of Shaqiri's injury record this term.

"He is a very special player in different departments. His physique is different to all others I ever saw, his muscles are unbelievable.

"So far it was never big but it was always enough to get him out, I can imagine that is frustrating, it is frustrating for him and not good for us.

"We work on that. We don't want to bring in a situation where it constantly happens but so far we didn't find 100 per cent the solution for it so we have to see."
